Golden Rain Tree- you should have one!
Golden Rain Trees are a beautiful medium sized blooming tree. Koelreuteria paniculata. They are fast growing and deciduous in the winter. In the fall the tree gets a ton of large blooming pods at the ends of the branches! Beautiful YELLOW Blooms! After the blooms have been on the tree for about 2 weeks or so, the seed pods form and they are a lantern shaped, pink-ish colored carrier of the seed. Usually 3 seeds each pod... The Seeds usually fall with a good wind storm and you will have babies in the spring! The new seedlings are easy to pull up and move or just mow over them and they eventually die out... The Golden Rain Tree gives great shade with its nice canopy shape and Lush green leaves.
