Golden Rain Laburnum, Large Trees

Laburnum x watereri Vossii: Bareroot Vos's Golden Rain Trees in Standard Sizes

Laburnum Vossii, the Golden Rain tree, has much longer (up to 50-60cm) and better flowers than the wild variety, with the same lovely bark and quite dark green leaves for the flowers to stand out against. The flowers are fragrant and good for bees.
Left to grow freely, they can reach a height of about 8-9 metres and up to the same wide, but they respond well to pruning and can be trained over pergolas.

Delivery season: Laburnum trees are delivered bareroot during late autumn and winter, approximately November-March inclusive.
Choosing a size: Small trees are cheaper, easier to handle and more forgiving of less than ideal aftercare, so they are best for a big planting project. If instant impact is your priority, or if you are only buying a few plants for use in a place where it is convenient to water them well in their first year, then you may as well use bigger ones. All our bareroot trees are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).

Features:

• Height: 8-9m
• Soil: Well drained and fertile, full sun
• Long strings of yellow flowers in May-June
• RHS Award of Garden Merit
• Bareroot delivery only: November-March

Growing Golden Rain Laburnums

This hardy tree needs a well-drained and reasonably fertile soil in full to thrive. They tolerate urban pollution well.

If they need pruning, aim to do it between the end of summer to December, otherwise the tree will bleed a lot.

Rabbits love young Laburnum, so you must use a tree guard if there are any in your area.
