The vibrant colors of Osaka flowers

The Osaka tree is in full bloom with bright yellow flowers in front of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The April sun seems to cool down when you suddenly see the Osaka trees blooming with vibrant yellow flowers on the sidewalk.

That's the Osaka tree planted in front of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism. For more than half a month now, clusters of bright yellow flowers have bloomed all over the tree, becoming a popular photo spot for many young people. Tucked away in the shade of the tree is a pineapple cart. When asked, the owner of the pineapple cart said: "Every day, many young people come here to take pictures."

"Passersby also stopped their cars to admire the tree, then took out their mobile phones to film and take pictures," said the security guard from the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism. "Every year at this time, the tree blooms. In previous years, the tree was small and hidden behind the fence, so few people saw it."

Similarly, in front of Ba Den Secondary School (Ninh Son Ward, Tay Ninh City), there are also two Osaka trees blooming brilliantly. As summer approaches, the flamboyant trees in the schoolyard are also beginning to show off their colors. The deep yellow of the Osaka trees interspersed with the vibrant red of the flamboyant flowers makes the school even more attractive.

Next to the Ba Den Mountain Memorial, there are also two Osaka trees in bloom. Here, the Osaka trees stand out even more against the green backdrop of the mountains and forests, enhancing the landscape of the tourist area. Many tourists passing by this road are amazed by the majestic beauty of the Osaka trees.

The Osaka tree in front of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has become a popular check-in spot for many young people.

The golden Osaka tree, also known as the golden shower tree, queen's shower tree, lantern flower, etc., originates from South Asia. It is a neutral, light-loving, fast-growing, drought-tolerant tree. Its trunk has a hard, heavy heartwood that can be used in house construction, furniture making, and agricultural tools.

In Vietnam, the yellow Osaka tree grows wild in the open forests of the Central Highlands provinces such as Gia Lai, Kon Tum, and Dak Lak. Because of its beautiful flowers, wide canopy, fast growth, moderate height, and strong, horizontal roots, the Osaka tree is attracting attention for its potential as a landscape and street tree. Currently, it is widely planted in urban areas such as Nha Trang, Da Lat, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City.

In practice, the Osaka tree is quite suitable for the soil, climate, and urban architecture of Tay Ninh city. If the rows of green trees along the main streets of Tay Ninh city were replaced with the yellow Osaka tree, it could create a unique highlight for the city.
