Cassia fistula, the golden shower tree, is a fast-growing, medium-sized deciduous tree reaching heights of 30 to 40 feet. It features an open, spreading crown and pinnate compound leaves that often drop just before a spectacular display of pendulous, bright yellow flower racemes in late spring. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, this drought-tolerant species is a popular ornamental shade or street tree. Beyond its beauty, it is valued for its medicinal pods and durable timber.
