Laburnum watereri Vossii (Golden Rain Tree)

Laburnum watereri ‘Vossii’ or Golden Rain Tree is a spectacular, broad-crowned small deciduous tree with deep green, ternate (3 leaflets) leaves.

It is noted for its bright yellow flowers in drooping clusters (racemes) that flourish in late spring. A cluster can grow up to 60cm in length.

Grows at a relatively slow pace but can eventually reach to a height of 8 metres with a similar breadth.

Thrives in a full sun or partial sun aspect, growing in organically rich, well-drained and moist – doesn’t tolerate heat or humidity.

Can be grown as a standalone specimen or would suit planting for arches, arbours, pergolas, or espaliers.
