Certified ExpertA.It isn't really necessary to prune them, as this will hold flowering off even more than it already it. It is only necessary to take out diseased or dead branches.
It is much more likely that your soil is lacking phosphorus and potassium, or is way to abundant in nitrogen. Correcting these issues will help with flowering.

Certified ExpertA.There are multiple species of Tabebuia and each tree will grow a little differently according to its individual growth habit and growing conditions. Without photos and description we can only give general information.
Pruning need is usually minimal and only for light thinning, dead wood removal, raising drooping branches, and shaping. This can be done at any time, but is best after primary flowering period.
Tabebuia does best with fertile well-drained soil and good water management. Do you irrigate, fertilize?

32832Q.When Will Leaves Oome Back On My Newly Planted Tabebulia
I planted a 35 gal. yellow Tabebulia in February in orlando Fla.(It is now March) It had leaves on it. The leaves fell off and the beautiful flowers bloomed. Now there are just pods but I don't see the green leaves growing back. Should the tree start getting its leaves back soon and do I need to cut the pods off? They have not opened yet.

Certified ExpertA.No, don't do any cutting at this time. That will stress it out. You are at the very lowest end of where it can survive, and adding any stress now will not be good.
Give it a little time, as your area will be the last to see growth from the tree, being at the outer edge of where it can survive.

Bali UbudQ.We Have Planted 2 Small Tabebuias In Our Garden In Bali. Can We Uproot One To Move It?
They were planted when they were about 2 meters tall , two years ago.. Unfortunately they are a bit too close to one another, about 1 meter apart... Should we remove one and re-plant with more space apart? Could it be damaged if we uproot it now to move it? Thank you. Anoukpetzoldt@gmail.com

Certified ExpertA.It would do more damage to uproot it than to let it grow where it is, unfortunately.

Windermere, Florida 34786Q.Tabibuia Tree
I have planted two tabibuia trees this spring. Both of them are planted on similar spots and get the same amount of light. But one of them is not doing so good, new leaves are drying up and dying and the tree looks sad compare to the other one. What do you think could be the problem? Thank you

Certified ExpertA.These trees are rarely bothered by insects and disease so look to a cultural or environmental issue. You may need to have a soil test from around the ailing tree to see what is amiss.

33511Q.My Yellow Trumpet Tabebuia Sapling’s Leaf Tips Are Browning, What Am I Doing Wrong?
I recently bought a tabebuia sapling to use for a living urn, and the tips of it's leaves are browning and progressively moving down each leaf. I am growing it in Entisol from the Florida Central ridge, giving it about a cup to two cups of water a day, keeping it indoors during the winter in ~80 degree weather, and using a plant friendly bulb to provide it light for 12-16 hours a day. What am I doing wrong?

Certified ExpertA.As long as you have not fed it, or changed its soil, then it is likely overwatering. This will lead to infection, and browning leaf tips. Make sure, indoors, that the soil in the container is allowed to dry out between 1/3 and 1/2 down into it before watering again. This may not be on a schedule. You will need to manually check soil moisture.
Along with correcting watering habits, it may be a good idea to treat with a fungicide. This can help get rid of the infection.
