The Erythrina
coralloides flowers come on when the tree has
few if any leaves. The wood of this tree is weak and it can use some pruning to keep
it from breaking itself down. The flowers have a hint of a purple hue. Just a
bit more than the other coral trees that I have seen. This hardy tropical tree is
probably the most cold tolerant of the coral trees, if not, Erythrina crista galli is.
