The Goldenchain Tree is one of my favorite flowering trees. It has long, hanging 10 – 30 cm bright yellow flower panicles. This graceful tree has bright green leaves in summer and is fast growing with immense visual impact when in bloom. It makes a good bonsai specimen, can be grown in a pot on a patio and is great to be used as a border accent tree. When choosing a location, keep in mind that the Goldenchain Tree has a moderate to fast growth rate. It grows up to 5 meters in height and 4 meters in spread. Laburnum anagyroides is hardy to -30°C. Prefers sun to partial shade and will tolerate a range of soil types but requires good drainage.
