Tree ID help

[Joe]

Anyone know what type of tree this is? Quite a few of them in the streets here on Gran Canaria. I've asked a couple of council gardeners

but they just shrug their shoulders.

 

Thanks

Just google (or search on Alamy!) for "red flowers black seed pods".

This one may go the way of one I took. It had red berries but I could never identify it, and I refuse to name it if I’m not sure. There were too many that might fit, so I just gave it up and never uploaded it. I spent hours trying to ID it.

Looks like a flame tree - Brachychiton sp from the flowers and seed pods.

 

Edit - Maybe B. acerifolius which is grown on Gran Canaria (according to google....must be true!!!). A sneak peek at the leaves when they regrow will confirm...or not.

Is it worth trying "Picture This"? I knew it was an app for use in the field but it seems you can also upload a picture - Artificial Intelligence!

I didn’t think of that. Hmmm.

Actually I think it will struggle with the OP's picture, they look too much like berries, but you never know.

I think you're right.  The seed pods certainly match and the flowers have the right look about them.

If you can post a picture, Betty, I'll have a go.  No promises.
