The taxonomists changed the name to Handroanthus impetiginosus. I don't know why they did that other than to prove they deserve a paycheck. Anyways, the common name is Ipe', and this is the second year in a row that mother nature tricked them into blooming early. Either that or Spring is early this year.

So many species,

so little time.

Jerry, is the tree that the famous "ipe" wood comes from?

Jody

The wood is very hard but I think another species is the timber tree. Don K would be the guy to ask that particular question.
