Koelrenteria Paniculata seed

LATIN NAME: Koelreuteria paniculata

COMMON NAME: Golden Rain Tree

The golden rain tree is the cascade of the yellow bells of the late summer, and the large, loose panicles open over the crown. The spreading, deciduous tree carries the pinnate or bipinnate leaves and the large, loose panicles of the many small, golden-yellow flowers through the late summer, to be followed by the papery, bladder-like, red-brown fruits that hold the small, round, black seeds. The tree is a fine, bold presence of the warm avenue and the courtyard. It is a tree of the open, sunny, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The golden rain tree is a bold subject of the plant science, and the yellow panicles keep showing up in the work on the late-flowering trees. The way the tree flowers so late in the season has been examined closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the warm-climate street trees, the bladder-fruited trees and the members of the soapberry family. The pinnate leaves and the spreading, open habit have also made it a fine garden tree, and the golden rain tree is a regular subject of the work on the bold late-flowering trees of the warm world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The golden rain tree is a fine, bold tree of the warm avenue and the courtyard. The large, loose panicles of the many small, golden-yellow flowers open over the crown through the late summer, one of the fine, golden sights of the warm street, drawing the bees, and the papery, bladder-like, red-brown fruits follow and hold the colour through the autumn. The tree stands the heat, the drought and the poor city ground with the ease, and it is one of the fine choices for the avenue, the courtyard and the statement planting of the warm regions. It has been written up in the horticultural and the urban papers for the golden panicles and the late, bold ways, and it is a fine, long-lived tree of the open, sunny, well-drained garden.

The golden rain tree is one of the bold late-flowering trees of the warm street, and the papery, bladder-like fruits hold the colour through the autumn. The tree stands the heat and the poor city ground.

To grow the golden rain tree from seed, sow the small, round seeds a little under the surface of a tray of fine, free-draining soil, keep the tray in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young plants out after the last frosts. The seedlings come through within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun, the warmth and the well-drained ground, the golden rain will fall over the crown through the late summer.

This is a beautiful tree, precious plants.
