Planting
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Although it is a widely tolerant tree, flame tree prefers moist to dry soil in which to grow. After it becomes established it will tolerate drought and temperatures down to 25 degrees Fahrenheit, but it prefers mild weather. It grows well in loam to sandy soil with pHs ranging from slightly acidic to highly alkaline, and withstands salinity well, as long as the weather is not too cold.
