Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata)
A deciduous tree, thrives in urban settings across USDA zones 5 to 9. It's celebrated for its adaptability to various soil types, including clay, and its tolerance of heat, drought, wind and pollution.
Reaching heights of 30 to 40 feet, this tree showcases a rounded, spreading canopy. It's renowned for its stunning, bright yellow flowers that bloom in mid to late summer, forming long, panicle clusters. These blooms are a magnet for honey bees, butterfly's and other pollinators. The tree gets it name from the flower petals that fall to the ground after they mature as a "golden rain".
Following the flowering stage, the tree produces distinctive, bladder-like seed pods, that resemble small Chinese lanterns adding visual interest in the fall. These pods are often used in flower arrangements. Its foliage, initially pinkish-bronze, turns into a bright green and then shifts to yellow in autumn.
Ideal for small to medium-sized landscapes, the Golden Rain Tree is used as a shade tree, street tree, or ornamental due to its size and colorful display.
Available as 30-42 inch tall potted trees.
