The golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata) is a beautiful deciduous tree that can grow up to 30 feet tall and 30 feet wide at maturity. The tree's rounded, umbrella-like crown is formed by a dense network of spreading branches that are covered in delicate, compound leaves with a fern-like appearance.
In mid-summer, the tree produces an abundance of small, bright yellow flowers that are arranged in showy clusters that can be up to a foot long. These flowers give the tree its common name "golden rain," and they are followed by papery, lantern-shaped seed pods that hang from the branches and rustle in the breeze.
The golden rain tree is prized for its stunning fall foliage, which can range from bright yellow to deep red, depending on the cultivar. The tree's bark is gray-brown and slightly furrowed, adding to its rustic charm.
Overall, the golden rain tree is a striking addition to any landscape, with its elegant form, beautiful flowers, and vibrant fall colors. It is hardy and adaptable to a range of soil types, making it a popular choice for gardens, parks, and street plantings.
