| Common
Names: Voss's Laburnum, Golden
Chain Tree, Bean Tree & Golden Rain Tree. |
| A
spreading tree with fine, dark green foliage, cut
into oval leaflets. But it is for the long racemes
of brilliant, golden-yellow flowers that this tree
deserves a place in the garden. It is a hybrid
cross between 'Laburnum alpinum' and 'Laburnum
anagyroides'. In late spring and early summer, it
is smothered with pea-like chains of flowers,
often up to 60cm (24in) long, followed by a light
crop of poisonous seeds. It grows quickly and
looks spectacular trained over a pergola or
planted as a specimen tree in a small garden. |
