How to identify Tipu tree (Tipuana tipu)

Tipu tree, also known as Pride of bolivia, Palo rosa

Tipu tree is a semi-deciduous tree notable for its fissured bark and a broad, flat crown generally surpassing its height of 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters), but can grow much larger. It exhibits compound pinnate leaves around 10 inches (25 cm) long, composed of numerous rounded, lime-green leaflets. During late spring to early summer, it produces a profusion of golden yellow flowers. These blossoms give way to distinct, single-seeded winged samaras reminiscent of maple tree fruit. The plant's preferable habitat is full sun, requiring only occasional deep watering to thrive.
