Golden chain tree (Laburnum anagyroides)
Golden chain tree, also known as Laburnum, Golden rain
The Laburnum, or Golden Chain tree, is cherished for its striking cascading yellow blooms that appear in late spring, making it a popular choice for gardens and patios. Beyond its ornamental appeal, the wood is prized for cabinetry, inlay work, and musical instruments, and its flexible branches were historically used for crafting bows. However, it's crucial to note that every part of the Golden Chain tree is extremely toxic and can be deadly if ingested.
