Golden Rain
As I read and drank a cup of coffee on Mother’s Day, while looking out my kitchen picture window, I was treated to beautiful, yellow blossoms falling from our Golden Raintrees. A pair of squirrels were busily chasing each other around in the tree knocking the blossoms loose. The trees lived up to their name that morning! Every spring I get to enjoy these blossoms! Now that it is late July and the seed pods are brown and covering the trees.
Koelreuteria paniculata is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae, native to eastern Asia, in China and Korea. It was introduced to America in 1763, and has become a popular landscape tree worldwide. Common names include goldenrain tree, pride of India, China tree or varnish tree.
It is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 7 m (23 ft) tall, with a broad, dome-shaped crown.
It can be an invasive tree in Texas and Florida, but I have not had a problem with baby trees planting themselves in my yard. I planted these raintrees many years ago when I mailed in $10 for 10 trees to plant. Two of the trees were Golden Raintrees.

Isn't it wonderful to be able to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee, while looking out at your beautiful Golden Raintree? I love the fact that you can watch squirrels chasing each other while they create a golden rainfall of blossoms. Nature is so wonderful. Thank-you for the information of the Golden Raintree. I'm not familiar with this tree so I learned something new. Have a wonderful weekend!
