Bagi orang-orang yang berada di Penang maybe ini sudah tidak asing lagi tetapi ada yang tak tahu tentang pokok ni....Kalau kita tengok....berguguran ditiup angin ala-ala bunga sakura di Jepun...tak percaya....sudah lerrr..
petikan dari akbar,
Terdapat lebih 50 spesis Tabebuia yang dibezakan melalui warna dan bentuk bunganya. Pokok daripada spesis ini mengeluarkan bunga berwarna putih, kuning, perak, merah dan merah jambu. Ia ditanam di kebanyakan negara tropika sebagai pokok hiasan dan membiak melalui biji benih dan boleh dibiakkan melalui keratan batang atau ranting. Pokok yang diberi gelaran Sakura ini memerlukan musim kering yang ketara sebelum mengeluarkan bunganya yang lebat. Antara keistimewaan pokok ini ialah ia mempunyai aktiviti seperti antibakteria dan antimalaria, selain sesuai dijadikan halangan angin, pokok hiasan di jalan raya dan perumahan.
Penang Sakura Blossom

The Tabebuia Rosea, Pink Tecoma, Rosy Trumpet Tree or what Penangites fondly know as the Penang Sakura will be in full bloom again throughout the month of March.
Planted along the stretch of Bayan Baru as well as in Bukit Mertajam, each tree bears a majestic canopy of white, pink or pastel purple flowers every year, attracting all sorts of visitors to revel in its beauty. During this month, many will travel to this part of the island to capture beautiful photographs or maybe enjoy romantic moments with a loved one under its pretty pink shade.
Although many may call these the Cherry Blossoms of Penang, they are not to be confused with the actual Japanese Cherry Blossom or Sakura as the locals only call them that because of its colour and resemblance. Now, every Penangite will be able to experience the glory of such beautiful blossoms without having to travel all the way to Japan.
Native to Central and South America, these magnificent flowering trees is usually found growing in neotropical countries in temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C on average, with annual rainfall above 500 mm, and on soils with very variable pH.
