HOW THEY SPREAD<br />
Seed is both abundant and easily dispersed, either by wind<br />
or water.<br />
These seeds have a high rate of germination enabling fast<br />
establishment of colonies in natural bushland.<br />

Golden Rain Trees<br />
Koelreuteria elegans subsp. formosana<br />
Koelreuteria paniculata<br />
Leichhardt Bean<br />
Cassia brewsteri<br />
These fast growing trees have<br />
mid-green ferny compound<br />
foliage. The trunk is grey and<br />
clean. In late Summer the tree<br />
is covered in panicles of clear<br />
yellow flowers. The flowers<br />
sometimes go un-noticed, but<br />
not the pink, papery<br />
bladderlike pods that form<br />
afterwards. Seed is produced<br />
in abundance with many new<br />
plants emerging adjacent to<br />
the original each season.<br />
Spectacular Australian native<br />
tree growing to a height of 10m.<br />
Flowers are yellow and red and<br />
pea shaped.<br />
They occur in profuse pendant<br />
heads and cover the tree making<br />
it difficult to see the foliage.
