Laburnum Anagyroides

Design with this plant

Overview

The Goldenchain Tree, Laburnum anagyroides, is a captivating deciduous specimen valued for its stunning pendulous racemes of yellow flowers, reaching up to 10 inches long. Thriving in USDA zones 5-7, it matures to 15-25 feet high with a similar spread. Prefers well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Notable for its spring bloom, it requires caution as all parts are toxic if ingested. Adds dramatic vertical accents to gardens.
