This tree has an almost exotic appearance. The pretty flowing flowers look like exploding fireworks!

Golden Raintrees give you an incredible show... all year long!

When the leaves first bud out in early spring, they’re a unique pink-red color, and eventually turn a deep green.

Then come the long, airy sprays of color.

It’s one of the few trees to feature yellow flowers that 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 look like 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. You often see them as street trees in urban environments and as fabulous focal points in groups of three to five in landscapes. Plant them 25-30 feet apart.

They grow up to 30 ft. tall and 30 ft. wide, so they make great shade trees where you have little space.

Golden Raintrees give you dense shade, but also make incredible flowering trees that can be the focal point of your landscape.

Be sure to order your Golden Raintrees now. They're very popular, and we sell out every year!

Your Golden Raintree can be planted any time of year!

While some orders go out immediately, most are shipped within 7-10 days of your order date. This does not include transit time, which can be several days depending on your state.

We try to avoid plants being in transit over the weekend, which may cause your order to be shipped out at the beginning of the following week. We use FedEx so your order is shipped quickly.

Several products are delayed shipping until the Fall or Spring. These delays are stated on the product description page and helps us insure that you get the healthiest plants possible. On rare occasions, we will delay shipping if we see severe weather forecasts for your area or ours or if we encounter other unusual issues.

If you would like to postpone or reschedule your ship date, just call us and we can send your plants out at a more convenient time for you. If you are sending plants as a gift or need them quicker than normal, we encourage you to place your order by phone.

It's Easy to Plant your Golden Raintree
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Golden Raintree. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Golden Raintree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Golden Raintree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Merlin in Tallahassee, FL

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

Carole in Bruning, NE

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. Cant wait for it to bloom next year.

Trudy in Brookings, OR

My tree has grown up to about 10 feet in a couple of years and looks great.....the first year it had 4 blossoms, 25 the next and this year it was loaded...hope to enjoy this beauty for many years to come.
