Golden Shower tree

Golden Shower Tree (Cassia fistula), also known as the Indian Laburnum or Amaltas, is a stunning tropical tree renowned for its long, cascading clusters of bright yellow flowers. It typically reaches adulthood in 10-15 years, growing to a height of 10-20 meters. The tree has a lifespan of about 30-50 years under optimal conditions. The Golden Shower Tree thrives in full sunlight, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, and prefers well-drained soils. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during its early growth stages. Its vibrant blooms and attractive foliage make it a popular choice for gardens, parks, and streetscapes, often used for ornamental and shade purposes.
