Possibly one of the Tababuias. If it is, it does seed heavily but the long furry sausage-like seed pods can be removed and disposed of.

That'll teach me to scroll down first. GH may well be right, somehow I hadn't thought of them growing so far south. If it is Tabebuia, some can be quite violent self-seeders, more like a snow-storm and very viable when fresh, you would be pulling up seedlings forever. Let's wait for more input, but get the axe sharp just in case the verdict comes in.

g'day julia, you could grow them in small gardens, there is no need to let the plant ramble the vines can be fed around and around over itself, the vines can be pruned back and use the prunings for more planting material or to add to the compost, also the leaves and young shoots are edible like spinach just wilt them is all that is needed. they can also be grown in the shade. len Here is a link that might be useful: lens growing sweet spuds and pines

Best tasting fruit

For a start I would go with a nice apple, something like Norkent or September Ruby. If you like sour cherry then go with Evans. Mt. Royal plum, [ European, this is like a prune plum] is good but not super hardy, slow growing tree, perhaps OK for Edmonton? A Supreme or Pembina plum, [Japanese] is good too but need pollinator. Valliant is good...if you like sour with a somewhat a funny flavour....I like it. Raspberry is good, so are many other berries. Konrad

I think if you post on the discussions section, you will get a better response. I think your second one is also Golden Tiara. People who know much more than I do can help...move the post over there and see.

I don't think it is a Tabebuia, the leaves don't look right. I too thought it looked like Allamanda, but that is not a tree.
Cheers,

What about Tecoma stans?

I agree with Dee, its nothing like the Tabeubia I grew one in Townsville and the flowers
were kind of crinkley and some were frilly on the edges also the leaves are wrong.

Reckon Tony has the right one once again, Good on you Tony...Cheers..MM.

Tony is right, definately the weedy Tecoma, in a hurry yesterday and didn't look past the flowers. Seed pods look like tecoma not tabebuia.

I also thought of Tecoma stans but felt that the petal formation at the top looks wrong. The Tecoma petals overlap a little whereas these ones have a definite gap. Do they just vary from plant to plant?
Cheers,

Just to throw another one into the mix. What about Campsis radicans?
Cheers,
Dee.
