Description

I think Golden Rain Tree must be one of the new, up-and-coming invasives for our area. We have heavily fruiting, mature individuals planted all around our central plaza on the NKU campus, the strong northern Kentucky winds blow the pods into drifts here, there, and yon, and then the seedlings volunteer EVERYWHERE.
The large tree and fruit pictured here are cultivated, but pictured to provide ID traits and show where the volunteers came from. I'm tagging the babies as wild.
