Species of fast growth with a deep root system, which helps control erosion and protects degraded soils. It is also a nitrogen-fixing species that nourishes the soil and assists other species. It grows along stream banks, channels, and rivers, providing protection to them. This tree is used as shade for coffee plantations and is edible, as the aril surrounding the seed is sweet and fleshy. It is consumed by humans, birds, and mammals.

Species that helps improve soil quality, increase water retention, and reduce soil erosion. Its roots help to loosen compacted soil and enhance its infiltration capacity. It is a nitrogen-fixing species, thus contributing to the proliferation of other species. This can help mitigate the effects of droughts and floods, which are expected to increase with climate change.

Due to its fast growth, Handroanthus chrysanthus is a species widely used in restoration processes because of its rapid growth and easy adaptation to terrains with challenging soil characteristics. It is also regularly planted to stabilize riverbeds due to the strong anchoring of its roots, which act as a barrier to prevent floods.

Species that grows in deep, well-aerated soils with good drainage, tolerating acidic pH values and low levels of phosphorus and other elements traditionally associated with low-fertility tropical soils. It is a melliferous species that attracts insects (ants and bees) and avifauna (hummingbirds). It is a fast-growing species, especially useful for protecting water sources and improving the properties of eroded soils.
