Hello Debsy'n'Spooky,
There are a few yellow-flowered trees. Not all are easy to obtain, so
you'll need to do some research.
Caragana arborescens (Pea Tree): yellow pea-like flwrs, May. 12' high.
Koelreuteria paniculata (Pride of India): tiny yllw flwrs in panicles, July
and August. 20' high.
Laburnum watereri 'Vossii' (+other spp. and vars.) (Golden Rain):
yllw pea-flwrd tassels, May or June. 15' high.
Sophora microphylla: drooping clusters of yllw flwrs in May. Small tree.
Sophora tetraptera 'Grandiflora': drooping branches of tubular yllw flwrs in
May. Small tree.
(Source: Dr. Hessayon's Expert Guide to Trees and Shrubs.
The Hillier Colour Dictionary of Trees and Shrubs).
Another option (since you're moving) would be to grow a yellow-flowered
climber/creeper up an obelisk or canes. Such as:
Eccremocarpus scaber 'Aureus'
Tropaeolum peregrinum
Tropaeolum majus, yellow/orange forms
Thunbergia alata
Clematis and Lonicera - any of the yellow flowered clematis or honeysuckles.
Also consider Rosa 'Golden Showers', or similar.
Hope this helps.

Hi All,
We're in desperate need of some help. Until recently, we had a
beautiful 10ft tree in our garden, which we inherited when we moved in.
Following a LOT of TLC,sadly it finally succumbed to a very strong wind
and gave up the ghost! Spooky had to take it down as it was
unsavable!!
Now we're left with a sizable dent in our border, and the garden is
200ft in length, so it REALLY looks bleak there now.
Our problem could be resolved by simply planting another tree in its
place, but we've now decided to try and grow a tree in a tub or pot, so
we can take it with us when we move.
Any ideas on what we could plant up? That side of our garden is planted
in oranges and yellows, so a tree with either Orange/Yellow flowers
would be great! I've tried all the plant finders I can think of, but to
no avail!
Really would very much appreciate any ideas.
