- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Today I am planting 60 golden rain trees from seed. I will take you out on location to show you the beautiful tree and harvest seeds for planting. Golden Rain Tree is the best heat tolerant tree for garden zone 9b it gets beautiful yellow flowers in the late spring and early summer. The flowers become lantern shaped paper like seed pods that are very attractive and always changing colors. Golden Rain Trees are a wonderful heat tolerant fast growing shade tree. Golden rain tree is also a pollinator magnet! Garden Happy with Liz in California garden zone 9b
I live in Thailand and we have these tree's my friend gave me 20 seedlings 5 years ago and I planted them on our land now they are very big and I've just been collecting the seed pods from under the trees dark brown in colour literally 100s of pods 1000s of seeds now I will grow them from seeds and plant more trees on our land apparently they are perfect for furniture making thanks for videoing the growing procedure 🙏
Good morning JackDaniels and than you for taking the time to comment. That is so awesome that you can easily grow Golden Rain Trees with success. I collected and planted SO MANY seeds and NOT one grew for me. Not even a tiny sprout!!! Oh well. . . must have something to do with my area and weather. I am happy they work out well for you. Thanks again for visiting me. xoxoxox Liz
I love this tree. Some people say they are invasive but I haven't had that problem yet. Mine has been single for years
Oh my goodness, Carrasco2011sc I am so jealous. I have not been able to get any of my seeds to germinate. I love the tree as well and would’ve been thrilled if I could’ve grown one. I think they’re beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to comment. 👍❤️🌸🥰Liz
@GardenHappy mine tree came from a neighbor, her neighbor across the street has one and she says the tree came out on its own. Lol. She was going to cut it, but I saved it.
A volunteer golden Raintree. Got a love it!! Was totally meant to be. 😃😃😃Liz
Nice o formetion about golden rain tree nice sharing stay in touch
Thank you I am happy you like that video.
Thank you for the education on this tree. I have one in our yard and it's magnificent.
I'm going to do my best to grow some now ✌️🍂🌾
Hello there Beeu9841 and Happy Sunday!!! I LOVE this tree so much and have tried to grow one from seed several times with NO LUCK at all!!!! That is so awesome you have one in your yard. There is so much interest in this tree in every season. My favorite is the little lantern shaped seed pods. Maybe I will just have to buy one at the nursery. Thank you for your comment! I appreciate you stopping by! ❤️🥰👍Liz
You have a "Happy Birthday" rooster! Try to un-hear that now, haha!
Hahaha You are so funny that is an awesome comment. Thank you for stopping by appreciate you taking the time to watch my video.❤️🥰Liz
Ohhh my goodness Marilyn you are SO FUNNY! xoxoxox Liz

Love your videos!
Awww Thank you Nina that is so sweet of you!!! 🌸👍❤️🥰 Liz
What a beautiful tree!
Thank you so much! the bees go crazy over it!!!
I’d never heard of a Golden Rain tree. It looks amazing. I hope they all take root. Good luck!
Thank you I am told they germinate easy. I will donate them to the garden club in my city. Thank you for watching the video and leaving me this nice comment.
If you live in my area I would be happy to give you one : )
Thanks so much for all Information on the golden rain tree I had never heard of this tree before but it was a very pretty tree and that doesn’t sound like it that hard if it’s only growing a foot and a half each year I have trees it for a lot more than that I do series trimming every year on my trees thank you so much for sharing this tree with us I can’t wait to see how they germinate
I had never heard of the tree either until I was walking and saw it in bloom. Then I was like, Hmmmm what is that? So I did some research and knew I had to make a video and plant some. The seed pods are so pretty!
He’s beautiful 🌸💕🌸
Thank you. . . and noisy too! hahaha
Always love coming over to your channel it’s such a beautiful channel there’s so many great things you share hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie. Always love seeing your beautiful garden videos you do a beautiful job
Awww hello my dear sweet friend. Thanks for your encouragement and always making me smile!
Wonderful.
Many thanks!
When can we see some results of the germination? I also saw this tree in a city and gathered some seeds, I will be trying to plant them in a pot on my balcony! I would love to see how many of yours germinated!
Hello Bettina, thank you for taking the time to watch this video and leave me this comment. I am going to be 100% completely honest with you. Not one seed germinated. I am so disappointed. And this is the second time I have tried growing them for seed. I also gave my sister some seeds and none of hers germinated as well. That is why I have not been able to post any updates. I really appreciate you for asking and showing interest. Please if you find out some thing that I am doing wrong I would love to hear your thoughts and experience. But this was a big failure for me. The only thing I can think of is maybe the seeds I gathered off the ground were contaminated because the city may have sprayed the ground for weeds. So what I will do is get some seeds directly from the pod before they drop and try again. Three is a charm right? Hahaha 🌸😇👍
I love your garden the color doors and the tire planters to cute! We have chickens too lol! We have a Acker and a little more than half! I have 3 planter boxes so I don't have to bend over or go on my knees and 5 giant felt bags of vegetables growing and random pots of tomatoes and peppers ,the orchard has lemon, orange, grapefruit, figs and plums and apples!
Hi Cindy! Thank you SO MUCH for your sweet comments. Wow your garden sounds amazing!!! I have never heard of that kind of chicken (Acker) I just lost one of my hens today. . . she was egg bound but the egg cracked inside her. Always something right! So now I am down to 1 rooster and 2 hens. I'm thinking about getting a couple Australorp they seem to be real friendly. Thank you again for your kind words and for watching my videos. I sincerely appreciate your support.
I was given some golden rain tree seeds and I was trying to find info on them and came across your video. Thank you for sharing! Do you have an update on how many of yours sprouted and how big they are now!? Thanks 😊
I see in other comments that yours didn't grow. What a bummer. I have to check my records to see where they came from but I am still going to try! Are you in Florida? I'm in lower SC. Hopefully I have good luck.
Hello there Caitlin and thank you for taking the time to reach out. I am going to be 100% honest with you. Not one of my seeds germinated. I even sent seeds to my sister who lives in Oregon and she could not get them to sprout either. Then I got all new seeds, soaked them in water, and I could still not get them to germinate. I tried three times with no luck at all. I am so sorry. I am no help to you. It is such a beautiful tree and I wanted one to grow in my backyard, Please keep me posted on your success. I would love to hear how this works out for you. 🥰👍❤️Liz
nice sharing friend
Awwww thank you my friend!
Hi, I harvested some seeds today and decided to give it a try. Any update how they re going?
Oh wow that is so awesome!!! After trying this 3 times with no luck I gave up! I am so excited to know how you do. Please keep me updated! 👍🥰❤️ Liz
The flowers and the seed pods are very poisonous even though are so pretty, wasn't sure if you mentioned that in the video.
Oh no I had no idea!!! Thank you very much for telling me!!! 👍Liz
Wondering how your seeds are doing, how many germinated and what they look like now. Thinking about buying this tree on line so started watching a bunch of videos about this tree.
I am going to be 100% honest with you. Not one seed germinated. And this was a second time I tried to grow that tree. The only thing I can think of is a location where I harvest the seeds perhaps it was contaminated. Maybe the workers sprayed the ground for weeds or pesticides. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve tried to grow this. Perhaps if you buy some seeds that would be better. Or better yet just buy the tree! It is a gorgeous tree!!! If you have success I would love to hear how it all works for you. And thank you for taking the time to reach out to me.
@@GardenHappy Oh no! TY for the reply! I also love growing from seeds but I have never grown this particular tree. I will buy a tree or 2 on line for my new backyard here in zone 8b. I have had successes from seeds with japanese maples, sugar apples, wisteria, jack fruits, all kinds of trees 😅
I LOve Wisteria…. Absolutely glorious! And the blossoms on apple trees are so pretty as well. I am in California zone 9b great weather so Im sure the seeds I collected were contaminated. Nice chatting , have a restful evening. 🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing the planting process. I'm curious as to what you would recommended if storing the seeds--if that's possible. I harvest a massive amount of seeds. Going through now taking out the fully developed seeds, far more than I can physically plant in one season.
You are so sweet to leave me this nice comment. Whenever I store seeds usually i just put them in a white envelope or a Tupperware container. I’m not a fancy person and that’s just the way I always do it. Thank you again for stopping by I appreciate you for watching my video. And I sincerely apologize for taking so long to respond to you. I was out of commission with Covid and I am just now getting better. Have a great day.❤️🥰👍Liz
Hey Happy Garden,
Well my golden rain tree has been in the ground for a while. Well, this summer has been extremely hot here in central Texas. I have been watering ever so often. My tree is about 4 feet tall with a collection of leaves. Well my tree has a case of black spots which I was thinking it was brought on being in direct sun. South area of my property. I believe this plant may take a lot of heat but needs a time in shade at some point during the day with these extreme temperatures. I don’t have another place to move this tree. I’m scared that it will eventually die. I could perhaps plant a blue ice cypress in font of it, but that will take a few years before the golden rain tree gets any relief from that. The good thing, that now that we are in September, we should eventually get some relief from the heat in a couple of weeks.
Oh my goodness I am so excited for you and envious as well. The golden rain tree loves heat and sun so I think having it there is a great spot. Maybe the black spots are due to too much water. Maybe you can back off of the water a little bit and let it dry out. Congratulations and keep me posted this is such a fun topic and I am so happy for you. Yay!!! 👍😍❤️Liz
@@GardenHappy
Thanks. I will be keeping an eye on it. The ground around the golden rain tree was bone dry this morning. I put a gallon of water around it. This is this tree’s first summer. So how often should I water it. I actually don’t water it but once a week and only a few gallons. The tree is an area of my property that is about 10 or 12 feet lower than my house. It’s hard for me to carry water out to this area of my property. Thanks for getting back with me.
I am thinking that although the ground around your tree was dry underneath may not be, especially since it’s lower down than all the other areas in your garden. I would only water it once a week. But then as soon as fall begins I would not water it again because it will start raining in the winter. I have a feeling your tree might be getting water under the ground. I’m not an expert gardener so I may not be the one to ask. But I do know the tree is very drought tolerant and grows great in areas where they are not watered every day.
Well, it is spring now. I am 40 minutes from Austin Texas. My golden rain tree is growing very well… finally and I am not watering like I did last summer. The reason why I planted it was the deer won’t touch it. Not even to rub their antlers on them. The back of my property seemed to be eroding into the creek. That’s what I thought three years ago. So I quickly tried to plant some trees. The deer took everything down. Even the yaupon holly. But I worry about it being considered invasive. If I get something to grow, I can hardly bring myself to take it down. The only vegetable I am successful at is potatoes. So I grow potatoes and sunflowers and zinnias. Anyway, a large conversation about my rain tree. I planted it basically in the woods. The creek is almost always dry. I can’t see this tree getting out of hand. Needs water to germinate I believe. It rained two inches about eight weeks ago. Hope everything is going well for you.
@@tessloneill7978 Oh my goodness I am SO SORRY it took me so long to reply to your comment. I am just now seeing this. That is SO AWESOME you are having wonderful success. I still have not been able to germinate one single seed so I gave up. hahahaha Thank you for sharing your experience with me!!! Happy gardening my friend. xoxox Liz
I planted this tree last November with some reservation. I heard it was invasive. But I figured since it rarely rains where I live-between San Antonio and
Austin and can be very dry here that it wouldn’t take off like it does in other places. What do you think?
Hello Tessloneill and thank you for taking the time to watch my video. I think the Golden Rain Tree is an excellent choice for your area. And it adds so much visual interest all year long. I don't think it is invasive at all!!! I planted 60 seeds and I was NOT able to germinate any of them. I tried again a few months later with no luck again. . . and my sister who lives in Oregon was not able to germinate of of her seeds either. So my point is. . . . it does not sprout from seed easily therefore I don't feel it is invasive at all. It's just the opposite! hahaha So I hope you will enjoy your beautiful tree without any worries. Liz
@@GardenHappy
Thanks so much for replying. II can quit worrying now.
@@tessloneill7978 i also live in Texas, how did the seed did?
Did it grow?
@@mrs.potato586
I didn’t grow it by seed. I bought a golden rain tree about three feet tall this past November. It came with no leaves. Now it’s May and it has leafed out a good bit. To tell you the truth I hardly watered it because it was at the far end of my property and I wasn’t sure I wanted it to live.
The seeds may need stratification and/or scarification. I'm trying to find info on that now....
Oh wow that totally makes sense and I bet you are right. I have tried three times to grow them with no success. I’ve even soaked the seeds for many weeks to soften up the skin but it still didn’t work. Maybe the stratification is the key. Please let me know what you find out! And I appreciate you taking the time to share that information with me. Have a great weekend! Liz
Did they grow! I love this tree and have some seeds to grow. Wasn't sure how to go about it. Thanks for the video
Hello Andrea. . . in answer to your question. . . No. . .NOT ONE!!! I am soooo bummed. The only thing I can think of is maybe the area that I harvested the seeds from was contaminated. . . or sprayed for weeds. If you have seeds and are going to try I would love to know how it worked out for you.
@GardenHappy I have one in my garden and same thing happened to me, they didn't germinate. Some people say they are invasive, but that hasn't been my case. My tree has been a loner for years.
I planted a Golden Rain Tree last spring, and it did really well. It grew over a foot in one season. But this year it isn't doing as good. The growth seems slower, and some of the leaves have damaged areas around the margins. I don't think it's from an insect. Maybe a fungus, I don't know. Some of the damage is black at the edges. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
Oh wow that is awesome that you were able to grow one. Can you believe it but out of all those seeds I planted NOT ONE grew!!! I'm thinking that maybe the seeds where I took them from were contaminated with weed killer or something. I can't believe I had ZERO luck! But I am so happy for you!!! Thank you for writing to me, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. - Liz
