Koelreuteria paniculata 'Golden Candle'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Deciduous Tree
Plant Family: Sapindaceae
Plant Description: This Golden Rain Tree is narrow and columnar. Having this narrow form makes it perfect for tight spaces and urban landscapes. It offers bright yellow flowers that bloom on the tips of each branch during the early part of summer. After the flowers bloom, seed pods appear green and then turn brown as they mature. The lacey green foliage turns yellow during the fall.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Tree - Deciduous
Plant Care: Tree - Deciduous (single-stemmed woody plants that lose their leaves every winter): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most trees. With spring blooming trees, prune after the blooms are spent. Choose species that are resistant to pest damage. Monitor the tree for pests, diseases or other ailments on a regular basis. Protect the trunk especially where maintenance activities, such as mowing, may cause damage. Newly planted trees in areas with high exposure should have the trunk protected during the winter.
