Cassia Fistula (Golden Shower Tree)

Few trees stop people in their tracks quite like the Golden Shower Tree (Cassia fistula) in full bloom. Cascading clusters of brilliant yellow flowers drape the entire canopy in a breathtaking display that makes it one of the most spectacular flowering trees in the world. At 3.0–3.5 m tall with a solid 60–70 mm caliper trunk, supplied in a 170L pot, this is a mature specimen ready to become the centrepiece of any garden, courtyard, or landscape.

Key Features

• Spectacular flowering display — long, pendulous clusters of golden-yellow blooms
• Specimen-grade size — 3.0–3.5 m height, 60–70 mm caliper, in a 170L pot
• Semi-deciduous canopy with graceful, arching branches
• Highly heat and drought-tolerant once established — ideal for UAE conditions
• A statement tree for villa gardens, entranceways, and feature planting

Why It Works in the UAE

Cassia fistula is a tropical and subtropical tree that thrives in the UAE's hot, sunny climate. It loves full sun and handles the summer heat with ease, producing its most dramatic flowering display in the warmer months. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it a rewarding choice for gardeners who want maximum visual impact with minimal effort. Its golden blooms are a striking contrast against blue skies and white walls — a natural fit for UAE villa gardens.

Water: Deep watering every 7–10 days during establishment; drought-tolerant once mature
Soil: Well-draining sandy or loamy soil
Fertilizer: Balanced slow-release fertilizer at planting; feed lightly in spring to encourage flowering
