Why Golden Raintrees?
Golden Raintrees give you an incredible show year-round. 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.

Arrived healthy from the box. once in the ground it retained its leaves.
Great little tree!
Great little tree seems happy in my yard. The first one was damaged in shipping. I was sent a replacement within a couple of days. Great company to work with. Can’t wait will I start getting blooms!
Tougher than it looks
Trees arrived sleepy and delicate looking. I set them out near their future home to acclimatize (we’re at 7,000’ elevation, northern New Mexico) and watered them for a few days. They quickly recovered and set out new growth. We had wind, even a bit of snow, then we planted them. A few days later we got some long-awaited rain. The trees are thriving. Before I planted them, I checked each root ball for girdling roots and only found several strong roots that were beginning to turn around in the tub. I stretched them out and it seems everyone is happy with their fate.
