Surabaya does not want to be left behind. The City of Heroes also decorates its main roads with cherry blossoms that will be so beautiful when they bloom, attracting many people.
The name of the flower planted on the main roads of Surabaya is Tabebuya Chrysotrica. This flower is a typical Brazilian cherry blossom. There is a reason why the Surabaya government has this flower.
Tabebuya can grow in Indonesia, which has a tropical climate, especially in Surabaya, which is often nicknamed the city with two suns due to its heat. Tabebuya is unique because it blooms during the dry season, making it suitable for planting in Indonesia.
With small clustered flowers on its stems, the Tabebuya has fewer leaves, so when it blooms, the flowers beautify the tree. In a year, Tabebuya blooms three times, in May, September, and November. The blooming duration lasts more than seven days, allowing it to adorn the streets for quite a while. Moreover, when its flowers fall, it adds to the beauty of the streets, my friend.
There are three types of Tabebuya planted in Surabaya: pink, white, and yellow. All three are so beautiful and make Surabaya bright with their colors.
