This elegant tree, with its graceful form and vibrant blossoms, makes a stunning focal point in any garden or landscape. Its eye-catching color and unique structure add both beauty and drama to gardens, making it a popular choice for ornamental planting.

Seasonal Beauty & Growth

Spring:

• The tree bursts into bloom with vibrant, golden-yellow racemes (flower clusters) that hang down in a cascading fashion, creating a breathtaking visual display.
• Foliage emerges as fresh, light green leaves, providing a soft contrast to the brilliant yellow flowers.

Summer:

• After flowering, the tree continues to provide lush green foliage, maintaining its attractive form and offering cooling shade.
• The leaves turn a rich green, creating a backdrop for the lingering flower stems.

Autumn:

• Foliage shifts to a bright yellow in autumn, complementing the vibrant flowers of the previous season.

Winter:

• In winter, the tree’s bare structure offers a strong architectural presence, and its smooth bark adds visual interest to the dormant landscape.

Structure & Form

• Height & Spread: Reaches a height of 4–8 meters with a spread of 3–4 meters, forming a broad, rounded crown.
• Form: A graceful, deciduous tree with a wide, rounded crown and pendulous flower clusters that give it an elegant, weeping appearance during blooming.
• Growth Habit: Grows with a strong, upright trunk that supports long, drooping branches filled with vibrant flowers during its bloom period.

Perfect for Various Landscapes

• Specimen Tree: Perfect for planting as a standalone specimen in the garden, where its striking yellow flowers can be appreciated from a distance.
• Formal Gardens: Its neat, rounded shape and graceful flowers make it a beautiful addition to structured, formal gardens.
• Cottage & Woodland Gardens: Ideal for adding a touch of color and elegance to informal or naturalistic planting schemes.
• Pollinator Gardens: The tree’s bright blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a great choice for a wildlife-friendly garden.

Growing Conditions & Care

• Position: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; more sun encourages better flowering and a stronger, more compact shape.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral soil but is tolerant of a range of soil types.
• Hardiness: Hardy in most temperate climates, but can be sensitive to frost damage in early spring, so ensure planting in a sheltered position.
• Maintenance: Requires minimal care once established. Pruning is typically only needed to remove dead or damaged branches. Water regularly during dry periods to support healthy growth.
