__NOTOC__{{Plantbox

''Tipuana tipu'', a.k.a. '''[[Rosewood]]''', is a South American tree of the genus ''[[Tipuana]]''. Tipu trees can reach 100 feet in height and 60 feet wide.  They are known for being shade trees. Tipu leaves vary in size from 1/2 inch to 3 inches or more and they grow in clusters.  The flowers are bright yellow in color and bloom only briefly in the late summer.  The fruit is a [[Samara (fruit)|samara]], with the seed at one end.  From January-June each year, the tipuana usually sheds all of its leaves, flowers, and large beige seed packets.  The leaf, seed packet, and flower debris can be quite a nuisance.  The tree is known for having a very invasive and aggressive root system that will damage concrete sidewalks, patios, sewage pipes, and pools.

Though beautiful, this tree is an invasive weed in some countries<ref>http://www.weeds.gov.au/publications/guidelines/alert/t-tipu.html</ref> It produces masses of seeds, most of which succeed in germinating, and it can withstand a very wide range of growing conditions, from -4 degrees C to salty soils to drought. <ref>http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s1625878.htm</ref>
