The overall shape is irregular to round, sometimes with multiple trunks. The large leaves are compound with leaflets that are irregular, roughly oval and coarsely toothed or lobed. Leaves emerge in spring light to medium green tinted with pink or bronze; they are bright green in summer and turn unreliably buttery yellow in the fall. Summer blooms appear at the ends of the branches in large clusters or panicles. They are small, yellow and open over several weeks. The seedpods are also showy, being papery like small Chinese lanterns and are greenish pink to red maturing to tan and brown. Golden rain tree can be a bit messy dropping flowers, seedpods and many small twigs. Golden rain trees are tolerant of many conditions and are great urban trees tolerant of pollution, heat, salt and drought. They prefer well drained soil and full sun but will grow in partial shade. They have open, rangy, leaning habits and brittle wood which breaks during windstorms. Prune them while young to establish good branch structure and a tidy shape. The seeds of this tree are fertile and pop-up around the landscape. It has naturalized in Japan and is becoming invasive in some locations. Golden rain trees are excellent in providing broken shade to patios, are good street trees and work well in small yards and landscapes, although quite messy. Information source: www.Learn2grow.com.
