Commonly known as the Golden Rain tree, this is a stunning, small tree. It features clusters of bright yellow flowers on long stems through summer. The ground beneath the tree resembles a golden carpet as the blossoms fall. The flowers result in brown, papery seed capsules in autumn. The foliage comprises feathery leaves which emerge pink-bronze in spring then age to bright green in summer before turning yellow in autumn and falling. This deciduous tree grows with an open-branched habit and a rounded crown to about 10 m tall and 5 m wide, and can be contained with trimming as necessary. It grows best in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is hardy to short periods of dry, cool climates, and frost. The Golden Rain tree makes for a wonderful shade tree, and is commonly used in avenue or street plantings, grown as a specimen, or maintained in a courtyard garden.
