Koelreuteria paniculata, also known as the Chinese Soapberry, is a small ornamental tree that is magnificent in every season but especially in the summer when it seems to entirely disappear beneath a mass of brilliantly yellow flowers.

Koelreuteria paniculata: the Golden Rain Tree in all its Glory

The mature silhouette is generously rounded, the lantern-shaped fruits are as unique as they are marvellous in dried bouquets and the beautiful autumn colours make it a standout in any garden.

Flowering takes place in July and August, in the second half of summer, and is all the more spectacular when summers are warm. Initially pale green, these capsules turn brown at maturity in autumn. Each is divided into three lobes, each containing a round brown seed.

Koelreuteria paniculata is a small tree or large shrub of fairly rapid growth, reaching 6–7 m in height and almost as much in width.

It forms a single trunk and carries a broad, loosely spreading, globular crown supported by gnarled branches. Its bark is brown with fine orange-tinged fissures. The deciduous foliage is composed of pinnate leaves reaching around forty centimetres in length, each bearing lobed or toothed leaflets of approximately 10 cm. Their colour moves from a soft spring green through to deep summer green, before turning orange-yellow in autumn. In winter, the branches are bare.

At the tips of the branches, conical panicles 20 to 40 cm long appear, bearing small four-petalled golden yellow flowers that are greatly appreciated by bees. After pollination, these give way to lantern-shaped capsules measuring 3 to 6 cm long by 2 to 4 cm wide.
