    This look like a mamossa tree , they comes in several colours, I remember seeing this yellow colour in st. thomas, V.I. I have two in my front yard which I planted, they are wondefull,they do provide seeds that you can plant , but it take about five years or more to grow that big like the one in the picture but it”s worth it.
    So just go to the gardens, and wait for the seeds to fall .

      This is a Yellow Flamboyant. The trees (yellow variety, red variety and orange variety flowers) usually flower at this time of year, and are somewhat symbolic of the Fishermen’s Feast (Feast of St Peters)
