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 |

Thanks Laburnums have hanging panicles of yellow flowers, and L. alpinum pendulum has weeping branches, although it doesn't get very large, only about 6 ft, and all the bits are poisonous. Genista aetnensis (Mount Etna broom) is sort of weeping, and gets to about 25 ft. but isn't fully hardy. Use Google Images for pictures. Rosa banksiae can be grown with a weeping habit. (I don't know how much work this entails.) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...27Lutea%27.jpg -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Pam in Bristol 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. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

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. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

Not really weeping but small and the branches can be drooping and the flowers are yellow. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
