Golden Chain Tree

Small Ornamental Yellow Flowering Tree

The Golden Chain Tree (Laburnum) pictures and growing needs for this yellow flowering tree. The lovely Golden Chain Tree (Laburnum Tree) is one of the most beautiful of the small ornamental flowering trees. The bright yellow flowers hang in pendulous clusters in late Spring.

These small ornamental trees are deciduous. They do best in zones 5b to 8. The very attractive blooms come in long clusters up to 20 inches long.

This tree grows in my yard. These pictures of it, are ones I recently took. This Spring it was very beautiful. As I stood before it taking pictures, I was serenaded by the hum of the Bumble bees that were enjoying the beautiful blossoms!

The Golden chain Tree grows 15-30 feet high. I guess mine is at that now. It grows in sun or semi-shade where summers are hot. It is best to plant them in an area where they will be protected from winds, because they uproot easily in a heavy storm. I planted mine near the potting shed, close to the house for that reason.

They have three-parted leaves, and georgeous yellow flowers that produce a wonderful show of color in late Spring. The flowers remind me of Wisteria blossoms.

Special Note; The flowers, seeds and Foliage (all parts) of this tree are poisonous if eaten!!
Young trees perform well, but sometimes decline as they reach middle age. They require no special attention, and pruning is only done to remove branches that cross (rub) or to keep the tree attractive. I give mine no special fertilizer, yet it grows and blooms fantastic! When I ordered it, it was quite small, and my Husband made a comment about "that little stick growing into a tree"?? But just yesterday, he commented on how Beautiful a tree it was!

They like well-drained acid or alkaline soils.

My tree grows upright, and doesn't have a wide spread, but generally the shape is to grow wider.

It's quite a conversation piece in my yard. Almost everyone wants to know "What kind of tree" it is, and comment on how beautiful it is. As you walk near it, you can't help but touch the lovely blossoms to see if they are for real.
