Scrambled Egg Tree

Scrambled Egg Tree is an evergreen shrub or small tree with pinnate green leaves and showy yellow flower clusters followed by flat pods. It is used in tropical and subtropical gardens, where its rounded canopy provides a flowering accent. ## Site and flowering The [NParks Flora & Fauna Web profile](https://www.nparks.gov.sg/florafaunaweb/flora/1/7/1789) describes Senna surattensis as a moderate-growing plant for full sun or semi-shade, with moderate water and fertile, well-drained loamy soil. The [Pha Tad Ke botanical garden profile](https://www.pha-tad-ke.com/plant/senna-surattensis/) reports flowering through much of the year. Flowering can respond to local climate and dry-season conditions. In warm gardens the species can grow into a small tree, with mature height and spread depending on site and care. ## Landscape use Its bright flowers and leafy canopy work well as a specimen or in a mixed shrub border where pods and mature spread have room. NParks also records the common names Scrambled Egg Bush, Golden Senna, Glaucous Cassia, Kolomona, Sunshine Tree, Glossy Shower, Bushy Cassia, Gelenggang, and Kalamona. ## Maintenance Use well-drained soil, water moderately, and remove unwanted seedlings or pods where their spread is not desired.
