Plant of the Month for September - Golden Rain Tree

Today is Arbor Day and fall begins tomorrow, with cooler nights and more comfortable days along Colorado's front range, it's a good time to start thinking about having a tree planted. September's plant of the month is a Goldenraintree, a tree which does really well in the Denver area. A visually interesting tree throughout all seasons, the Goldenraintree's rounded crown is covered with foot-long clusters of bright yellow flowers in July. By late summer, 2-inch long papery lantern-like capsules decorate the canopy, persisting into winter. The Goldenraintree reaches 30 feet tall and wide and features attractive compound leaves with dark green, irregularly toothed leaflets that turn yellow in the fall.
