Hi,

I am looking for a tree that is weeping and needs to have golden yellow
flowers.

Can anyone recommend anything that may be suitable?

Thanks

Would Koelreuteria fit the bill? I'm not sure how muchit weeps.

The flowers on a willow are yellowy!

Koelreuteria paniculata is called the Golden Rain Tree, but I think
that this applies to pendulous racemes, rather than to a general
weeping habit. I did look at the RHS Plantfinder, but there wasn't an
obvious (by the name) weeping cultivar listed.

Tilia 'Petiolaris' does have a weeping habit - at least in the best
trees (the form doesn't seem to be uniform) - and yellow flowers, but
it's probably the wrong sort of yellow. The same would hold for weeping
forms of Tilia cordata.

There is a weeping form ('Klein's Weeping') form of Aescula glabra, but
it's may not be available in the UK.

If yellow foliage rather than flowers is acceptable Robinia
pseudoacacia 'Frisia' can have a somewhat weeping habit, and there are
weeping varieties of Gingle biloba.

If it's to be leaves rather than flowers, I'd recommend Gleditsia
triacanthos Sunburst. It's less brittle and prone to wind damage than
the Robinia.
