COMMON NAME: Yellow Sophora
The yellow sophora is the golden cluster of the late garden, and the small, pea-like flowers crowd the upright heads above the fine leaves. The small, deciduous tree or large shrub carries the pinnate leaves of the many fine leaflets and the upright, dense racemes of the small, golden-yellow, pea-like flowers through the late spring, one of the fine, bold sights of the season. The tree is a fine, generous presence of the warm garden, and it is a tree of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The yellow sophora is a bold subject of the plant science, and the golden clusters keep showing up in the work on the legume trees. The way the dense racemes of the pea-like flowers rise above the fine leaves has been studied steadily, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the legume trees, the flowering shade trees and the members of the bean family. The pinnate leaves and the upright habit have also made it a fine study tree, and the yellow sophora is a regular subject of the work on the golden clusters of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The yellow sophora is a fine, bold tree of the warm garden and the avenue. The upright, dense racemes of the small, golden-yellow, pea-like flowers open through the late spring, one of the fine, bold sights of the season, drawing the bees, and the pinnate leaves of the many fine leaflets give the fine, open crown of the tree. The tree is one of the fine choices for the warm avenue, the courtyard and the study collection, and it has been written up in the horticultural and the botanical papers for the golden clusters and the bold ways. It is a fine, bold tree of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained garden.
Give the young tree the warm, sheltered spot for the first years, and the golden clusters will come in the long run.

To grow the yellow sophora from seed, sow the small, round seeds on the surface of a tray of gritty seed compost, without covering them, keep the tray in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young plants out in the open ground. The seedlings appear within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun, the warmth and the deep, well-drained ground, the golden clusters will open through the late spring.
