Golden Chain Tree (Laburnum × watereri 'Vossii')
Bring a cascade of golden-yellow flowers to your garden with Golden Chain Tree. Laburnum × watereri 'Vossii' is celebrated for its long, hanging flower clusters in late spring and early summer, creating a striking contrast against fresh green foliage.
Plant it where the flowers can be enjoyed from a garden path or window, with a leafy backdrop to show off their colour. Its deciduous canopy brings a changing seasonal character, with autumn foliage adding interest before leaf fall.
Why choose 'Vossii'?
- Long, pendulous clusters of golden-yellow flowers.
- An eye-catching late-spring to early-summer display.
- Green deciduous foliage and seasonal autumn interest.
- Typically produces fewer seeds than many other laburnums, but is not seed-free.
- A distinctive ornamental tree for a carefully chosen garden position.
Position and growing conditions
Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil and sufficient room for the crown and roots to develop. Although often considered for smaller gardens, this is not a dwarf tree: check the available planting space before choosing its position. Avoid persistently waterlogged ground.
Planting and aftercare
Plant with the root flare at soil level and water thoroughly after planting. Keep the base free of competing weeds and apply mulch without piling it against the trunk. Water during dry spells while establishing, and check ties regularly if staking is needed.
