Cassia Fistula

Cassia Fistula, commonly known as the Golden Shower Tree, is a tropical tree celebrated for its stunning display of bright yellow flowers and its wide range of uses. Native to South Asia, this tree has gained popularity around the world for its beauty, medicinal properties, and ecological benefits.

With a moderate growth rate, the Golden Shower Tree can reach heights of 10-20 meters (33-66 feet), forming a large, spreading canopy. Its striking clusters of yellow flowers bloom in profusion during the warmer months, creating a beautiful and vibrant display that adds color to any garden or park. The tree grows rapidly and fills space, making it an excellent choice for large landscapes and streetscapes.

The Golden Shower Tree not only captivates with its visual appeal but also demonstrates resilience. It can tolerate drought conditions once established, making it a suitable choice for regions with seasonal dry spells. Additionally, it tolerates moderate salt exposure, allowing it to thrive in coastal areas or places with salt air, though it prefers sheltered environments away from strong winds. The tree’s durability and low-maintenance nature make it a perfect addition to both urban and rural landscapes.
