Read the insightful Caption! Did you see Copperpod Trees blooming around you? 💛💛 Beautiful captures from @radharangarajan, educating the masses about Trees and Wildlife that surrounds us. As a child, the Copperpod is what I knew as “the yellow trees in the park that bloom during exam season.” There was a massive tree in my schoolyard, and an even larger one covered the bus stop I went to every day during college. Yet, it took me many years to discover what the tree was called! The Copperpod gets its name from its coppery-red seed pods, and also goes by Rusty Shield Bearer, Yellow Gulmohar and Yellow Flamboyant. The binomial, Peltophorum pterocarpum, is both alliterative and informative. ‘Peltophorum’ means shield-bearing in Latin, a nod to the shield-shaped stigma in the flowers. ‘Pterocarpum’ means winged seeds in Latin – ‘ptero’ is wing, and ‘carpus’ means seed. Did you know that in Java, a dye extracted from the bark is used to create a yellow-brown colour for Batik? – While the Copperpod is from India, it is truly native only to the Andamans. The native range then spreads through Sri Lanka, some southeast Asian countries and Northern Australia. – The tree is umbrella-shaped, can grow really tall, and looks stunning whether it is full of leaves, flowers or seeds! – The golden yellow flowers have crinkly petals and look gorgeous, both by day and night! – The flat fruit pods ripen to a lovely copper red and then fade to black. They stay on the tree for many months. The stalk that runs through the leaves is also brown in colour! – The tree is planted extensively in parks and avenues, and generally makes every place better! – One of the highlights of the Copperpod tree is the unbelievably beautiful floral carpet it creates when the flowers fall. #treesofinstagram #treestagram #treelovers #fiftytrees #urbantrees #treesofbangalore #bangaloretrees #floweringtrees #copperpod #peltophorumpterocarpum #rustyshieldbearer
