Tabebuia heterophylla
Also called White Cedar, Pink Trumpet Tree, Whitewood, Heterophyllous Yellow Pui
In Singapore: Whitewood, Roble (Grown in Singapore)
Pink manjack is a Caribbean tree grown as a street and garden tree for its showy pink spring and summer flowers. It needs full sun and a warm, frost-free climate, and it grows large, so give it room.
Tabebuia heterophylla is a species of tree native to the Caribbean, and is also cultivated elsewhere. It is also known as roble blanco, pink manjack, pink trumpet tree, white cedar, and whitewood.
The tree is native to the Caribbean, notably Puerto Rico and the Lesser Antilles. It is particularly common throughout Puerto Rico except in the higher elevations of the Sierra de Luquillo and the Cordillera Central. It can be found in high concentrations in the Sierra de Cayey and a protected area there, La Robleda, has recently become famous for its blooms which happen for a few weeks every year.
Pink manjack is used as a street tree. Its height allows for it to provide lasting shade and as a result it can provide shade for a residential property near the patio or deck. Its floral display allow it to be valued and as a result, it is known as an ornamental tree.
