The pink trumpet tree, also known as Tabebuia rosea, has become a popular attraction in Ho Chi Minh City for its striking display of pink flowers. Originating from the Americas, the tree was introduced to the city in 2009 and has since become a highlight of the local landscape. Typically blooming in mid-March and lasting until June, the pink trumpet tree is known for its bell-shaped flowers that grow in clusters and create a vibrant display of pink hues.

Despite its brilliant appearance, the pink trumpet blooms only for a brief period of three to four days before its petals fall off. Despite this, its impact on the city is profound, as its light-loving, woody, and shade-loving nature helps reduce temperatures and provides a romantic and poetic atmosphere to the streets where it grows.

Popular areas in Ho Chi Minh City to view the pink trumpet tree include Vo Van Kiet Street, Dien Bien Phu in Binh Thanh District, Vo Thi Sau in District 3, and Ham Nghi in District 1, among others.

The pink trumpet trees have been introduced to the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. With its delicate shade of pink, the tree has gained popularity among the younger generation and is often compared to the Vietnamese version of cherry blossoms. If you visit Saigon around this time, you will feel romantic while touring.
