Tabebuia is adaptable to full to partial sun locations and some will even tolerate a light freeze and come back in the milder zones. Pruning the dead wood and brittle old stems is an essential part of tabebuia tree care.This Caribbean trumpet tree is very easy to grow and bloom and its only drawback is its soft wood, making it very susceptible to damage during strong winds.
