Discover the captivating beauty of Cassia fistula, commonly known as Golden Shower Tree, an ornamental marvel celebrated for its spectacular floral display. Originating from the lush landscapes of India, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia, this small to medium-sized tree is a true embodiment of tropical elegance. Golden Shower Tree can reach heights up to 30 feet with a similarly expansive spread, providing a vibrant, vase-shaped canopy that is both open and welcoming. Its bright yellow, orchid-like flowers cascade in stunning clusters up to 18 inches long, painting a breathtaking picture during its primary blooming season from May to June, with an encore bloom in September. These five-petaled beauties emit a delicate fragrance that transforms gardens into alluring havens. Adapted to USDA hardiness zone 9b and warmer, the tree thrives in full sun and a range of soils, flourishing even in moderately drought-prone areas. Known for more than its visual appeal, Cassia fistula is revered in traditional medicine, noted for its astringent and purgative properties. Whether as a stately shade provider or a testament to nature's artistry, Golden Shower Tree is a vibrant choice for those seeking to infuse tropical charm into their green spaces.
