Laburnum anagyroides or the golden Chain Tree is a small, spreading, deciduous tree grown for the magnificent display of yellow flowers in spring.
It has long, grey/green, downy-undersided leaves.
In spring it bears dense, pendant racemes of bright yellow pea-like flowers.
In larger gardens the Laburnum makes a great, covered, trellis-style archway where (like Wisterias) their vibrant flowers hang down to make a stunning walkway.
