The beauty and versatility of Koelreuteria bipinnata, or Chinese Flame Tree, make it a stunning addition to any landscape. Native to southern China, this small to medium-sized deciduous tree can grow from 23-65 ft tall, offering striking yellow flowers in late summer and seed pods in a very attractive pink hue. The bipinnate leaves display an upright habit and turn from green to yellow from July - September, while the seed pods add charm to dried arrangements. This hardy tree flourishes in the sun and provides a bright display during its blooming period in summer. It lives between 50 to 150 years and requires little maintenance, withstanding conditions like wind, air pollution, heat, and drought. Offering more than just visual appeal, the seeds of the Chinese Flame Tree are used as beads in necklaces and its flowers can yield a yellow dye. Whether it's enhancing street, highway, parking lot, or used as a shade, garden or specimen tree, the vibrant Chinese Flame Tree guarantees a fascinating visual spectacle.
