Koelreuteria Paniculata (Golden Rain Tree)
Koelreuteria Paniculata (Golden Rain Tree) is a deciduous ornamental tree admired for its showy golden-yellow flower clusters that bloom in summer. These flowers are followed by unique, papery, lantern-like seed pods that change from green to pinkish-brown as they mature. Its lush, pinnate foliage emerges a vibrant green in spring, turning to stunning shades of yellow in autumn before falling.
This medium-sized tree is a perfect choice for gardens, parks, or as a street tree, offering both shade and visual interest throughout the year. Drought-tolerant once established, Golden Rain Tree is low-maintenance and highly adaptable, thriving in various climates and soil types.
