Culture

Winter hardy to USDA Zone 9b where it is grown in average, medium moisture well drained soils in full sun. Established trees have some drought tolerance. Site in locations protected from drying winds. Intolerant of frost. Propagate from seed.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Cassia fistula, commonly called golden shower tree, is a small to medium-sized tree that typically grows to 30-40' tall in an upright form often open at the top. It is native to India, Malaysia and Southeast Asia. It is well-known for producing a show-stopping bloom of yellow flowers in May-June/July. Even pinnate compound leaves to 12-16" long with 4-8 pairs of ovate-lanceolate leaflets (each leaflet to 4" long) per leaf. Leaves usually drop in April as a prelude to flowering which occurs from May to early July. Five-petaled, bright yellow flowers bloom in 8-18" pendulous terminal racemes which cover the tree with profuse bloom. Flowers are lightly scented. Leaves return as the flowering progresses, with foliage totally restored by July. Tree is often considered to be semi-deciduous or semi-evergreen because of this brief loss of leaves. A second less significant bloom often occurs in September but without loss of leaves. Flowers are followed by slender, terete, woody bean pods which grow to 2' long. Pods emerge green but mature to black, remaining on the tree until the following year. Sticky brown pulp inside the pods has been used in herbal medicines. Golden shower tree is the National tree of Thailand and the national flower of Thailand. Popular plant as ornamental and for herbal medicine. Dried fruit has medicinal properties. Is now widely grown in tropical and subtropical areas around the world.

Genus name comes from the Greek name for a genus of leguminous plants which provide the senna leaves and pods important in pharmacy.

Specific epithet means hollow like a pipe.

Problems

No serious insect or disease problems. Some tolerance for brief light frost with temperatures to 25°F. Mildew and leaf spot.

Uses

Ornamental. Shade tree. Formerly planted in some populated areas as a street tree, but this use has waned as planners have shifted to using Cassia x nealiae for this purpose because this hybrid does not drop as many leaves at flowering time and does not produce any seed pods.

Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. 

You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
