Planting and carePlant the golden shower tree where it grows and flowers its best: Choose any fertile soil landscape that basks in at least 10 hours of direct sunlight daily. Avoid any spot where the soil remains soggy after rain. Once established with far-reaching roots, the golden shower tree tolerates considerable drought without ill, according to Margaret Barwick, author of “Tropical and Subtropical Trees.”Galphimia Glauca care
A magnificent spring-flowering street or park tree for tropical regions, the golden shower tree (Cassia fistula) slowly matures up to 60 feet tall and 60 to 75 feet wide with a rounded silhouette.
Native to the Indian subcontinent, it naturally grows in fertile, well-drained soils in a climate that is warm but very dry in winter but then inundated with rains in spring to trigger the flowering. It s named a “shower” tree because its tiny yellow flowers occur in a long pendant cluster, called a raceme, measuring 6 to 30 inches long.
