We have two 20 foot poincianans at the front of our yard and the root base extends in a radius of 20 feet in all directions mainly on the surface and quite visible above ground. There is a concrete footpath running between the two trees and this has been cracked and broken by the roots. I hope this answers the question.
It is advisable to build flower beds away from possible invasive tree roots. Barring that, you can build a deep wall to prevent root intrusion.
royal Poinciana

red...I think Well the Poinciana comes in three colours: Red, Orange and the rare Yellow blossoms.
Yes
The roots are shallow; however, the tree is VERY invasive and will dig in and add more roots when it is cut. The tree will move in and take over native stands of trees, it's sap, leaves and fruit are poisinous to many as it is in the sumac family; it can cause severe respiratory reactions, as well as severe skin irritation to allergic individuals. DO NOT BURN THE WOOD FROM THIS TREE, the smoke can cause severe health problems!!! DO NOT CULTIVATE THIS TREE; it is very invasive and can ruin the habitat of native species!
only if you use round up. it is a very invasive tree and take a lot to kill root system . even fire ants do not affect the roots and stump till it is completely dead
Royal Poinciana is a tropical tree that will not thrive if it drops below 45¡ F. Also do not over water because these trees are subject to root rot. Lastly, check for any pests or bugs that may be killing the tree.
Yes, milkweed has invasive roots. The underground anchor of the plant in question (Asclepias) is a spreading system of rhizomes. It thereby permits milkweed to send roots in outward and upward directions.
No.
Fibrous.
