Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Growth Rate slow
An upright form of Golden rain tree, perfect in small gardens that can't accommodate the normal wide spreading form.
For borders or tight spots, this fastigiate form of a lovely small tree makes its handsome foliage, bright yellow summer flowers and fruit available for yet another landscape use. Sun/Med-Dry
Extremely upright with a very columnar habit. Grows somewhat slowly to 25' but only 6' wide. Flowers sparsely, so you will not see the profuse bloom as with the species, but great for that narrow location in your yard.

By: Greer Gardens Inc.

Slow growing columnar form 25' tall x 3' wide. Tolerant of drought, heat, wind and poor soil. What else can you throw at it? Lantern shaped seed pods in late summer.
