Tecoma X smithii ‘Orange Jubilee’

An evergreen shrub or small tree that grows in a scattered shape, with the main branches’ being straight and the secondary ones drooping in a weeping manner. This is a hybrid selected in South America, due to its abundant flowering most of the year in a bright eye-catching orange. The flowers are funnel-shaped and are arranged in clusters at the ends of the branches. They attract birds and bees. The foliage is fresh with feathery, shiny leaves.

It will thrive in all types of soil in the country and will benefit from additional fertilization. It requires watering until it is established, and afterward will require minimal watering. When the tree bears the capsules, we recommend you prune them and encourage the further growth of branches, which will carry additional waves of flowers. In particularly cold areas, or when exposed to significant cold spells, it will be semi-deciduous.

Tecoma ‘Orange Jubilee’ will be a pleasant addition to a garden and can serve as a small, attractive tree or as a hedge or plant for screening and privacy. It does not require much maintenance, and it requires minimal watering. It is very resistant, but its lifespan is relatively short (25–30 years).
