Cassia Fistula is one of the most stunning trees grown in a tropical - subtropical climates, better known as the Golden Shower Tree or Indian Laburnum.
Native to India, it flowers in summer and can be literally covered in showers of deep yellow blooms, each bunch up to about 40cm in length. When these trees usually flower, they have no leaves as they are semi-decidious and lose their leaves in late spring when the first flowers appear. But mine have received a lot of rain in the last two months which have encouraged them to grow leaves during flowering.
The flowers also have a lovely perfume that scent the garden and attract butterflies and bees alike.
