Koelreuteria paniculata 'Woodlanders Low Form'
Also Known As - Varnish Tree,Pride of IndiaThe Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria Paniculata "Woodlanders Low Form") is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to East Asia. It is widely planted and admired for its bright yellow blooms and attractive seedpods. This low-growing form is perfect for smaller gardens and landscapes and reaches a maximum height of 15 feet. In flowering season, large clusters of light yellow flowers appear and create an attractive display. The long-lasting, paper-like seedpods persist through winter and provide added interest to the garden. The golden rain tree is an easy-to-care-for, drought-tolerant species, requiring full sun and well-drained soil to thrive.

watering
Golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata 'Woodlanders Low Form') should be watered deeply 1-2 times weekly during its first growing season. During hot and dry periods, water more frequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. After its first growing season, water established plants when the soil dries out about 2 inches deep. Mulch around the root zone to help conserve soil moisture levels.
sunlight
The Golden Rain Tree prefers full sun for the best growth. In the summer, a minimum of 6 hours of direct sun per day is recommended, while in the winter, the tree will do just fine with 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight. For cooler areas in the winter, some protection from direct sunlight may be necessary to help protect the foliage. In areas that receive a good deal of sunlight, including the southwestern U.S., the tree may need to be shaded in the summer to protect from the intense heat.
pruning
Golden rain tree should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be minimal to maintain the plant's natural shape and size. Dead or damaged branches can be removed at any time of year. In spring, selective trimming of branches about 1-fourth their diameter may be performed to maintain size and shape, or to remove unwanted growth. Be sure not to over prune, as this could damage the tree and stunt its growth.
