You must be wondering how we can now connect botany with the alphabet. In this article, we will try to get acquainted with several species of plants that start with the letter T. Let’s have 4 of them: Tecoma Campsis radicans, Talinum, Tamarisk wood, and Taxodium.
1. Tecoma Campsis Radicans, first on the list of plants that start with ‘T’.
This lush deciduous creeping plant can also be grown as a canopy trunk. In North America where it originates, it grows in forest areas. It grows very fast and can cover large areas with its length or height. It begins to leaf in April and blooms throughout summer. The Campsis Grandiflora are trumpeted, with colors that are usually orange-red and also yellow. When the flowering period is over, the Tecoma should be cut into 5-7 buds. It produces legumes with seeds and has a strong root from which sprouts emerge throughout the year.

If you are growing it as a crawler, provide strong support. It attaches to the walls with its aerial roots. If you want to form a canopy, remove the branches to the height at which you want the canopy to form. It happens that the Tecoma strengthens a lot, so it becomes stronger than the support and breaks it. Therefore, it is not recommended to weave it in the fence because it will overgrow completely and may damage it. It is interesting to plant next to an old dried tree.
Propagation is by seeds or shoots. After reaching a certain height and transplanted, they grow on their own. They will easily root and best covered with mulch. The soil for Campsis Grandiflora should be rich and well-drained.
