Flamboyant or weed?

BDavis126 · 26th August 2009, 10:36 AM

Please help me ID this tree.
We found it growing in my flower bed and moved it to the front yard where it could grow as big as it wanted. We thought it was a Flamboyant tree but now it is blooming yellow flowers. Is it a weed or a yellow Flamboyant tree.
New to Florida.

It looks very mexican tree fern ish, if it is cut it off and destroy, they spread like wild fire, they are weak and messy trees but thats just my opinion.

Thanks, so you think it's a weed? I think we'll replace it before any of the neighbors notice we planted a weed in the yard.
Thanks again.
