The End of the Delonoix Regia Tree at my Backyard

I planted the flamboyant tree about ten years ago and hoping to see the red flowers every year during the September to November season. It flowered for only two years five years back and I had not seen the red flowers since. It had grown to more than 7m tall with slender branches extending out like ghost hands and shedding small  leaves on the roof and the ground. A lot of sweeping was required to clean out the roof and floor. 

Finally I cut down the tree ten days ago.

This is how the cross section of the base of the tree trunk looks like. How many rings are there across? You count!
