Cassia fistula, commonly known as the Golden Shower Tree, is a stunning and iconic flowering tree celebrated for its cascading clusters of bright yellow, trumpet-shaped blossoms. This tree is native to the Indian subcontinent and has become a beloved ornamental tree in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
Cassia fistula is a medium-sized to large deciduous tree that typically reaches heights of 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters), although some specimens can grow taller. It is known for its graceful and spreading canopy, which is laden with pendulous, drooping racemes of vibrant yellow flowers. The flowers are tubular, with five petals and a central column of stamens. When in full bloom, these striking blossoms create a breathtaking display that gives the tree its common name, "Golden Shower."
The flowering period of Cassia fistula typically occurs in late spring to early summer, depending on the climate and location. The tree sheds its leaves before or during the flowering season, allowing the vivid clusters of yellow flowers to take center stage against a backdrop of bare branches.
As the flowers fade, they give way to long, cylindrical pods that can reach up to 2 feet (0.6 meters) in length. These pods contain numerous dark brown to black seeds and are often uséd for propagation. When mature, the pods can dry and split open, releasing the seeds.
Cassia fistula is not only admired for its spectacular floral display but also holds cultural significance in many regions. It is the national tree of Thailand and the state flower of Kerala in India.
Due to its stunning beauty and cultural importance, Cassia fistula is often planted as an ornamental tree in gardens, parks, and along streets in tropical and subtropical areas. Its golden blossoms and graceful form make it a captivating addition to any landscape, and it continues to be cherished for its elegance and natural splendor.
