Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Golden Rain Tree - Koelreuteria paniculata
Few deciduous trees deliver Koelreuteria paniculata's combination of midsummer spectacle and urban resilience. Large panicles of golden-yellow bloom in the heat of summer, when colour in the landscape is scarce, followed by ornamental lantern-like seed pods that extend seasonal interest well into autumn.
Why Golden Rain Tree
Midsummer flowering: Produces expansive panicles of vivid yellow blooms in summer, providing colour at a time when most trees offer little.
Heat and drought tolerance: Performs reliably in exposed, high-heat environments, well suited to Australian conditions across a wide range of climates.
Extended ornamental interest: Papery, lantern-shaped seed pods follow flowering, adding sculptural detail through late summer and autumn.
Structured canopy: A rounded, well-proportioned form that provides meaningful shade without dominating the surrounding landscape.
Urban resilience: Proven performance in demanding streetscape and high-traffic landscape conditions.
Ideal Applications
Signature feature specimen: Positioned as a standalone focal point where seasonal flowering creates deliberate visual impact.
Avenue and boulevard planting: Repeated planting along driveways or streetscapes delivers cohesive, high-end results at scale.
Residential and commercial courtyards: Provides structured shade and seasonal colour within contained or paved environments.
Mixed canopy landscapes: Complements evergreen planting schemes with deciduous contrast and a defined seasonal cycle.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 6 to 10m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to early spring, avoiding frost periods
Soil & Drainage: Adaptable to most well-drained soils including poor, dry, sandy or clay soils; tolerates slightly alkaline and acidic conditions; good drainage essential
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first two years to establish a strong root system, then reduce to infrequent deep watering during prolonged dry periods. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk.
