It's a bummer because it grew so well before this wasp turned up, but there is a fairly easy solution to keep them looking great. You have to keep the tree inoculated with systemic pesticide (Imidacloprod) so that the larvae die before they can cause damage.
If you keep the treatment up, the tree will look great. I use Bayer Tree and Shrub 12 month liquid formula.
It is sduch a beautiful tree with its brightly colored leaves that it is worth the extra effort.

Better to buy a plant that you see it has variegated leaves.
I bought basically a chunk of tree in some not so fancy looking dirt at a church rummage sale a few months ago because I thought the yell...Read Moreow in the leaves was really pretty. The guy told me to repot the chunk when I could see some roots poking out of the bottom of the pot.
I don't know how long I can contain this potentially 40 foot tree, but I'm curious how long I can keep this beautiful zone 10b plant alive in 9B. If it's as easy as cutting off a chunk and sticking it in dirt, I wonder if I could just propagate it indefinitely...

Spectacular when in full bloom. Thrives well in Zone 10a to 11. Characterised by distinct "streaky" bark: pale green and brown
In ...Read MoreAugust, was gifted an assortment of 20 cuttings (semi-hardwood, woody stem and hardwood heel; each approximately 4 feet in length, 3" dia) of both E.variegata and E.indica from upcountry Coorg where the trees are planted for shade between coffee. All cuttings, incidentally, were from two trees that had come down in a gale. The cuttings were treated with rooting compound prior to placing. The good news is that 16 of them have taken root and are sprouting strongly: bright green triads of leaves. It'll probably take them a few years to start flowering, but then, that's always half the pleasure of the journey!
E. variegata (common names include Coral Tree and Tiger's Claw) is a striking tree, strongly branched, gray bark, growing to 60-70 feet. ...Read More It is deciduous, with spring leaves preceded by bright scarlet flowers 2 inches long arranged on terminal racemes that are up to 8 inches long. Our trees in Hana bloom in February and are followed by leaves that are triangular shaped, bright green with pale yellow-green veins (my guess is that the species name 'variegata' comes from the color difference between leaf and veins??).

With no leaves to block the view, the red flowers make it a hard tree to ignore. Then, as the flowers age, dropping off layer by layer, the leaves begin to show. By the beginning of summer in San Diego, all the red is gone, replaced by thick, rich green.
