My Yellow Bells tree. So pretty but a bit of a pest...lots of large seed pods. #YellowBells #seedpods #yellow #trumpet #Tecomastans #YellowElder
I know just what you mean..!
It is actually in the Queensland Restricted list. Can't buy sell or give away. Also must destroy all babies. Bit hard when there are several trees in my neighbourhood. I keep my yard clear though. @brightcolours
I've not seen any round here, thankfully. Although I do have a few on that list... It's an ongoing battle...

Also on the NSW #weed list: http://weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au/Weeds/Details/148
And it's a noxious weed in South Africa. http://keys.lucidcentral.org/keys/v3/eafrinet/weeds/key/weeds/Media/Html/Tecoma_stans_(Yellow_Bells).htm #noxiousweed
Obviously a real pest... but pretty. My tree would be about 10mt tall. It's been there a long time. 🌳 @brightcolours

A close up of the flowers. #upclose #YellowBells #seedpods #yellow #trumpet #Tecomastans #YellowElder
@Doicee Yes? No?
@brightcolours doesn't look the same.. Going to see if I can find images of different growing stages..
Narrows the field then @Doicee 👍
