Certified ExpertA.These trees are semi-evergreen to evergreen. So this year yours is evergreen! It is likely related to the weather. Here is more about them:

32832Q.Why Are Lower Branches On Tabebuia Tree Drooping And Some Leaves With Brown On Outside
I live in Orlando Fl. It rains here 5 out of 7 days/week. 35 gallon Tree was planted professionally about 2 years ago. I put Start and Grow around it a couple weeks ago to fertilize. This past week I noticed the bottom branches are drooping/limp. There are brown spots on edges of some leaves. It was a healthy tree until last week and bloomed twice.

Certified ExpertA.It looks like too much fertilizer was used. It is very important to follow the instructions for feeding, as trees and shrubs will have a different requirements than herbaceous plants will.
I would only feed once or twice per year, and use at half strength until you know how the tree will react. Then, work you way up until the tree cannot handle the dose.
Here is an article for more information on the tree:

32832Q.Additional Question To Tabebuia Tree
Thank you for such a prompt response. This makes sense what you are saying. There is a ground cover around the tree and I thought the fertilizer was not getting through it. So, I added more than recommended. Follow up question however is: will my tree die, If that is the problem? Can I do anything to help it?

Certified ExpertA.You can flush it with extra water. There isn't much else, besides a citric acid flush that will help, but if you don't have much experience with this I wouldn't recommend attempting it. In this case, the best thing will be water. Lots of it. Dilution is the solution to the pollution.
As long as your soil is well draining, then everything will be ok. Just be sure to follow all instructions on the package to avoid this in the future.

Make sure to test your soil for deficiencies before adding nutrients. This will be a good way to know, for sure, whether it needs it or not.

March 9, 2022Q.How To Get My Pink Tabebuia To Have More Blooms
I have a pink Tabebuia that was planted in my yard about 4 years ago. I was really hoping for a full bloom but again this year I am only getting bloom on small portion of the tree. We fertilized it twice this year and it gets watered at least twice a week.

Certified ExpertA.Does the non-blooming part have a lot of brittle stems or dead branches? If so, pruning those out should help. Also make sure the soil is well drained and it is not getting too much water. Here is more:

Safety Harbor, FL 34695 Zone 9Q.My 10+ Year Old Pink Tabebuia Tree Trunk Is Splitting In Areas On The Main Trunk. Is This Serious To The Tree?
Starting with about a 5 inch split, it has now increased to about 2ft towards the bottom of the main trunk. There are some other places with smaller splits that I am concerned about. I grew this tree from seed and she's approximately 35ft high! We've had beautiful blooms in Feb & March. Would hate to loose it:(

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the extent of the damage. If there seems to be no other damage, then it may be due to uneven watering. If this is the case, then there is not much that you will need to do, other than make sure that the tree does not dry out, completely.

Naples Fl 34116Q.Yellow Tabebuia Fell Down
I planted my yellow tabebuia over 15 years ago. It is now between 25’-35’. Hurricane Ian uprooted it and now it is laying in the ground. Can it be propped back up? And will it survive?

Certified ExpertA.It is worth a shot! There looks to be quite a bit of root mass, which can help keep it alive with proper care. You may want to apply a fungicide just as a precaution, as well.
