3 Dormant Golden Rain Trees - Koelreuteria paniculata - 4 to 6 inches

Golden Rain Tree 

(Pride of India, China Tree, Varnish Tree) 


Botanical Name: Koelreuteria paniculata 



POLLINATOR FRIENDLY - HONEY BEES LOVE THIS TREE!!!!!

 

This listing is for three (3) Golden Rain Trees that range in size between 4 and 6 inches in height.  


The trees you will receive will be between these ranges of size as there will be slight differences from the photos in the listing as no two plants are the same. They will be guaranteed vibrant and healthy and ready for transplanting. We do not ship with the pot as the pot allows for too much soil moisture evaporation. It will be securely adhered to the package wall for the safest shipping method possible. 


PLEASE BE ADVISED: From October to March, we ship these plants in their dormant state. This means they will have no leaves. The stem will be strewn with buds for this coming spring's growth. If you live in a southern state, these will push new growth upon planting them as dormancy is dependent on hours of daylight and temperature. We are located in New York State and temperatures can differ drastically around the country.  Please contact us with any questions on dormancy. We do send dormant planting instructions with every order.

The Golden Rain Tree is native to Korea and China. It was brought to the Americas in the 1700s. Since then, is has become a popular ornamental tree.  


General Description: This is a medium-sized flowering, ornamental, shade tree. We have been growing this unique tree for a couple decades now and have not found any major drawbacks to it being a garden plant. 


Hardiness Zone: 5 to 9 - Our Nursery is located in New York State, and we sometimes go below the zone 5 rating and have found this tree to be quite hardy. We fully recommend adding this tree into your landscape.  
Maintenance: Low - This tree is relatively maintenance free. The root system is a cluster of roots. No taproot. It is single trunked and loves the sun. 


Mature Height: 20 to 30 feet 
Mature Width: 25 to 35 feet 


The first couple of years it will stay below three feet in height but after it is fully established, it will put on solid growth until it reaches its max height. The max height of 30 feet will take about 15 years. This is very dependent on the soil and the climate it is grown in. 


Plant Details: 


Growth Habit: This tree has lateral uniform branching. When mature the tree looks like a ladder to some place special, a realm of natural wonder. We tend to forget how important the outside world is to human health. Creating gardens and getting our hands dirty can relax us to the point of no stress. We should all relish in the idea of a stress-free world, planted ever so carefully with our favorite trees. The Golden Rain Tree is one of our favorites and we hope it will become one of yours.  


Leaf Structure: Bipinnately compound, alternate leaves reach 6 to 18 inches long, each leaf having 7 to 15 leaflets each 1 to 4 inches long. New leaves emerge pinkish bronze and turn vivid green as they mature. Autumn color is golden yellow.
