This is the perfect, quick-growing ornamental tree for a small-medium garden. Laburnum anagyroides is a sight to behold on a spring day. Clusters of vivid-yellow, sweetly scented blooms cascade in profusions from branches, the long racemes reaching up to around 45cm; sometimes longer. In spring and early summer, there is so many blooms, you understand the reason the common name is ‘Golden Rain’. At this time of year this Laburnum looks spectacular, whether in flower or not, thanks to the pretty foliage. Many stately homes plant this Laburnum either side of an arch, where the blooms drip down, creating a colourful, perfumed walkway in May and June. The silvery-black, pea-like seedpods which follow are poisonous; remove any low hanging branches out of the reach of children. Beautifully grown as a deciduous specimen tree, or trained against a wall, Laburnum anagyroides grows to an approximate height of 400-800cm and can easily be pruned to a manageable size and shape if required. Laburnum anagyroides is a fully hardy perennial, preferring moist, well-drained soil in sun. It does not require any winter protection.
