Laburnum watereri 'Vossii'

Laburnum watereri 'Vossii', commonly known as Bean Tree, is a hardy deciduous shrub native to Europe. It is distinguished by its spectacularly long drooping clusters of yellow flowers, which bloom in the summer months. In addition to its display of flowers, it produces beans which are poisonous if ingested and should be removed. Bean Tree is easy to maintain, as it does not require much pruning and can tolerate a variety of soil conditions. It grows quickly and can reach a height of 6-8 feet within a few years. Its cascading branches of fragrant yellow blooms will bring a beautiful splash of color to any garden.
