Description
Handroanthus chrysanthus is a deciduous tree growing up to 30 metres tall
The tree yields a good quality timber.
Towards the end of winter the tree drops its leaves then brown furry flower buds start to develop at the end of the branches.
The large scented flowers, when they come out, are in crowded clusters and coloured a clear gold with sometimes the tiniest hint of green in them.
They are a good source of nectar.
The flowers finally drop off and form a golden carpet on the ground.
After the flowers drop the new season’s leaves appear.
Later long, golden-brown seed pods form which give another point of interest to the tree.
Habitat : Prefers sheltered sunny locations, fertile soils and moderate moisture.
It grows naturally in dry to moist soils so is suitable for a wide range of positions.
It is coastal tolerant.
