Goldenchain Tree is never more than 8 feet wide, yet reaches 20 feet tall and blooms very heavily over an extended late spring and early summer season.

Native to central and southern Europe, this deciduous tree normally tends to be shrubby and a bit rangy, but this fastigiate form points straight up, with tidy branching and a full but compact form. The flowers arise in drooping clusters 12 inches or so long, remaining for many weeks to fill the garden with their color and scent.

Note: all parts of this plant are poisonous. Zones 5-7
