I love this unique, well-adapted winner! When the leaves first bud out in early spring, they’re pink-red, turning medium green. Then come the long, airy sprays of color.

It’s one of the few trees to feature yellow flowers, which just erupt in a glorious cascade all over the canopy in midsummer. The show gets even better when the seed pods start to form in late summer. They turn a deep, rich orange and take on the appearance of tiny, golden orange paper lanterns!

But don’t let their delicate appearance fool you. These versatile champions stand up to heat, harsh climates and city pollution equally well. I’ve used them as a street trees in urban environments and as fabulous focal points in groups of three to five in the landscape. Plant them 8- to 12-feet-apart.

I planted one 25 years ago and have never regretted a thing about this beautiful tree.

Received tree Golden Raintree as a gift. It was about 6 inches tall when planted. The next spring it almost looked like a dead twig, but it has taken off and grown to 6 feet in one season. Can't wait for it to bloom next year.
