Golden Chain Tree - Laburnum x watereri ‘Vossii’
For three weeks in late spring Laburnum x watereri ‘Vossii’ hangs curtains of golden yellow pea flowers in racemes up to half a metre long, and there is genuinely nothing else that does the same thing. It is a small, upright to vase shaped deciduous tree that stays modest in size, which is fortunate because it only performs properly in cool climates. Note that all parts of this tree, particularly the seed, are poisonous if eaten.
Why Golden Chain Tree
Pendulous Racemes: Flower chains of 40 to 60cm are longer and denser than on the parent species.
Sparse Seeding: This selection sets far less seed than common laburnum, which improves flowering and reduces mess.
Small Stature: At 5 to 7m it fits an average suburban block in the southern states.
Cool Climate Performer: Genuinely happy in Tasmania, Victoria, the NSW tablelands and the Adelaide Hills.
Clean Habit: Trifoliate leaves and a tidy upright frame keep it presentable outside the flowering window.
Ideal Applications
Laburnum Arch: Trained over a pergola or tunnel frame so the chains hang overhead, the classic use.
Cool Climate Feature Tree: A single specimen on lawn where the spring display can be seen from the house.
Mixed Cottage Border: Sits above alliums, forget me nots and hellebores for a layered spring picture.
Entry Pair: Two matched trees flanking a gate in a highland or hills garden.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2.5 to 3m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4 to 5m
Best Planting Season: Winter while dormant, or very early spring
Soil & Drainage: Well drained neutral to alkaline loam, dislikes both waterlogging and hot dry sand
Establishment Care: Water deeply once a week through the first two summers and mulch generously to keep the roots cool, since heat is the main limit on this tree in Australia. Prune only in late summer or autumn if needed, as laburnum bleeds heavily when cut in late winter, and site it away from areas used by young children given the toxic seed.
