Tipuana tipu is native to the northwestern of Argentina. It is large and its decurrent crown provides good shade. Leaves fall during a short period around October. When it becomes green again it gets completely covered with bright yellow flowers, which form a yellow mat when they fall on the ground. They flower in summer for a second time but less intensely.
