In spring, Summerburst Golden Rain Tree puts on an amazing floral display that supports butterflies and beneficial pollinators. You might not believe your eyes when you see your tree covered in living, golden "firecrackers" of huge blooms.

All summer long, you'll luxuriate under the attractive, glossy leaves of Summerburst Golden Rain Tree. These compound leaves are quite unique, with a stunning textured look.

In fact, the gorgeous foliage is one of the biggest reasons why this cultivar was brought to market! It turns a bold orange with golden undertones for fall color; and the large leaves make clean-up a breeze.

This tree has another fall display to offer! Well-known for their paper lantern-style seed capsules, Summerburst Golden Rain Tree capsules feature a pretty pink blush.

Use this tree in a mulched patio bed, or grow a series of them along your fence line. Create a park-like setting on a larger property, or use it as a durable street tree to stop traffic!

Summerburst's symmetrical canopy looks formal in all seasons of the year; even wintertime as it gracefully catches and sculpts light snowfall. Use this tree with pride in the front yard or back.
