It is useful in warmer climates as a shade tree due to its wide umbrella canopy.
Prune any low branches when the tree is a juvenile to create this canopy which will allow people to walk under it when it is older.
The Poinciana a great specimen tree in a larger garden or park. You may have to wait up to 6-7 years before the tree flowers, but it is definately worth the wait.
