What our Grower Colleagues Have to Say

Heritage Seedlings“Certainly a fantastic nursery plant in spring with a kaleidoscope of color dominated by yellow-gold and intense pink. With its small stature and rugged nature, it is a superb plant for modern gardens too,” explained Eric Hammond of Heritage Seedlings, Inc. “Coral Sun stands out not only in spring, but also in winter when the twigs are golden yellow. We really like this tree.”

Top Five Reasons Why Golden Candle is a Standout Street Tree

  1. Performs well in most soils and dry conditions. 
  2. Pruning or shearing is not necessary!
  3. Unlike the species, Golden Candle develops a symmetrical head without pruning.
  4. Great for tight, limited space areas. Plant in groups or in a row for accent tree impact. 
  5. Drought and heat tolerance coupled with excellent disease resistance makes it a great urban landscape selection.

What Our Growers Have to Say

Carlton Plants“One of the most new and exciting varieties recently introduced by LCN Selections is the narrow columnar variety of Golden Rain Tree, Golden Candle™.  This variety has everything one wants in today’s trees for today’s market,” said Dick Bocci, of Carlton Plants. “After seeing Golden Candle™, customers can’t wait to get it into their offerings.” 

Society of Municipal ArboristsKolreuteria Golden Raintree was awarded the Society of Municipal Arborists 2011 Tree of the Year. These two selected cultivars are alternative forms of this tough, urban street tree that should be considered by landscape professionals and urban gardeners alike.
