Laburnum × watereri ‘Vossii’ – Cascading Golden Chains for a Striking Spring Display
Laburnum × watereri ‘Vossii’ is a classic small tree celebrated for its dazzling, pendulous racemes of golden-yellow flowers that appear in late spring to early summer. Supplied in a generous 12 litre pot, this beautifully formed specimen offers instant impact and strong establishment potential – ideal as a statement tree or trained over pergolas, arches, and walkways for a romantic, show-stopping effect.
