flame-colored

The university was pro - active in making the well - being of the flame tree outside the station an important consideration in the improvement project . strict supervision was in place during the work so that the tree would not be affected . a gravel layer was added to provide protection for the root area of the tree 大學積極保育火車站外的一株鳳凰木,該樹亦被列入改善工程的重要考慮因素,嚴格監控在施工期間鳳凰木不會受到工程影響,并特別用疏水石堆成保護層,保護鳳凰木的根部。

Now the construction work is complete ; the flame tree continues to flourish unaffected . a deciduous tree , the flame tree is affected by the changing seasons and remains dormant when the temperature drops below its ideal growing temperature range of 23 - 30 c 由于鳳凰木為落葉喬木,會受季節周期影響,其生長的最理想溫度為攝氏23 - 30度,現時香港氣溫一般低于攝氏20度,正是鳳凰木的休眠期。

Both the flame tree and the jacaranda blossom in late spring and early summer . but the jacaranda has irregular flowering times . flame trees do not blossom in the first eight years , but when they do , the clusters of red flowers are a striking sight 鳳凰木和藍花楹都是春夏間開花,但藍花楹開花不規律,鳳凰木最初八年不開花,花季的時候燃起一片鮮紅,英文稱之為林之焰,的確當之無愧。

The flame tree , a common flowering tree in hong kong , also known as phoenix tree in chinese , grows very fast . the trees can be seen everywhere on campus with the one around the kcr university station being the most spectacular 鳳凰木又稱紅影樹,是香港最常見的賞花喬木,生長迅速,大學隨處可見,最著名的是在火車站旁的一棵。

The jacaranda is an elegant deciduous tree . it resembles and requires similar growing conditions as the flame tree , and it has lavender flowers ; hence it is also known as the blue flame tree 藍花楹是優美的落葉喬木,和鳳凰木的外表及生長條件很相似,因花朵淡紫色,更被稱為藍影樹。

There are four other locations on campus where flame trees of a similar age can be found . they are now also dormant , awaiting spring and summer , to bloom again 校園內尚有四株位處其他地點同的鳳凰木,亦同樣處于休眠期,待春暖夏至時,鳳凰木必如既往,再展燦爛風姿。

Flame trees do not blossom in the first eight years , but when they do , usually in may or june , the clusters of red flowers are a striking sight 鳳凰木最初八年不開花,但當進入花季的時候(一般是五至六月) ,即燃起一片鮮紅,英文稱之為林之焰,的確當之無愧。

The tree is currently in a dormant phase , like other flame trees around campus pictured below 其狀態與校園內其他地方的鳳凰木現時狀態無異。
