This Caesalpinia is nothing new to those of us who live in perpetually hot areas. This Caribbean native goes into flower overdrive as long as temperatures stay on the hot side. It grows quickly to about 12 feet (3.5 meters) in just one summer with good rain or irrigation. Like many fast growing tropical trees and shrubs, it is a member of the pea family, Fabaceae. Surprisingly, this family member doesn’t transfix as much nitrogen as many other family members but makes up for this failing with sheer beauty.
