Don't know if this will help, but long ago I grew Tabebuia chrysotricha
in coastal Palos Verdes. Although it grew well, it flowered only
sparcely and not every year. Since the glory of the tree is its
February/March bloom before leaves, I was disappointed. The area I
lived in was subject to coastal fog in spring and cool summers.
