🌞 National treasure of Thailand: Golden Shower Tree

• ☀️ Cassia fistula - Golden Shower Tree is known as the national flower of Thailand. It is one of the most spectacular flowering trees for tropical and subtropical gardens.
• ☀️ From late spring through summer, it puts on a breathtaking display of golden-yellow flower clusters that hang in long, pendulous chains, often over a foot long. When in full bloom, the entire tree appears drenched in gold.
• ☀️ This deciduous tree drops its leaves in the dry season, allowing the brilliant flowers to take center stage. The leaves re-emerge after flowering, followed by long, dark brown seed pods that can reach up to two feet.
• ☀️ Cassia fistula is fast-growing, typically reaching 20-30 feet tall, and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It prefers a dry season to initiate heavy blooming and is tolerant of drought once established.
• ☀️ Aside from its beauty, the tree has cultural and medicinal significance in Asia in Ayurvedic medicine.

☀️ Fun facts:

In Thailand, it’s called Ratchaphruek and symbolizes royal identity.

• Its golden flowers are often used in local festivals and ceremonies.
• It attracts bees and butterflies and provides seasonal shade.
