Saipan Flametrees 2007

Flametrees are in full bloom on Saipan during June 2007. Unfortunately, there is an infection known as Phellinus noxious affecting some flametrees on Airport Road. This will require destroying at least 11 trees at this time. See the article at http://www.mvariety.com/calendar/june/14/localpage/lnews42.htm

The formal botanical name is Delonix reggia.
