Sonmohar Tree

The Sonmohar tree (Peltophorum pterocarpum), also known as the yellow flamboyant or copperpod, is a tropical tree admired for its bright yellow, showy flowers. Native to South and Southeast Asia, the Sonmohar tree is commonly planted in urban landscapes for its ornamental value and its ability to provide shade. The tree blooms in large clusters, creating a striking contrast with its dark green, feathery leaves. It is often used along roadsides, in parks, and gardens, making it a popular choice for beautifying public spaces. In addition to its beauty, the tree is hardy and can tolerate drought conditions, thriving in warm climates.
