  • Cassia fistula which is also known as Amaltas, Golden tree, golden shower tree, cassia stick tree, golden pipe tree and golden rain tree, is the unique tree which blooms in the harsh conditions.The golden tree (Cassia fistula L.) is a tropical and subtropical legume tree that is used as an ornamental, for fodder and for fuel and timber.
    Cassia fistula is thought to have originated from South-East Asia, and was introduced throughout the tropics. Golden trees have escaped cultivation in Costa Rica, Guyana, and French Guiana and are naturalized in many parts of the tropics including the West Indies, Mexico, Ecuador, Belize, and parts of Micronesia. It is considered as an invasive in Queensland, Australia
    Cassia fistula is a medium sized deciduous or semi-deciduous tree, 10 to 15 m tall with a straight trunk to 5 m in height and 1 m in diameter. It has spreading branches that form an open crown. The stem bark is pale grey, smooth and slender when young and dark brown and rough when old. The leaves are alternate, spirally arranged, paripinnately compound, 30-40 cm long, each pinnae bearing 3-8 pairs of large, ovate leaflets, 7.5-15 cm long x 2-5 cm broad, entire. The flowers are showy, bright yellow in colour, pentamerous and slightly zygomorphic in shape, 3.5 cm in diameter. They are borne on terminal, drooping racemes about 30-60 cm long which can be grouped by 3. The fruit is a pendulous, cylindrical, indehiscent pod, up to 60-100 cm long x 1.5-2 cm wide. It is black, glabrous and many seeded (25-100 seeds). When the pods are still young, the seeds are embedded in a black pulp. The seeds are ellipsoid, 8-9 mm long, glossy light brown in colour.
    Propagation of Cassia fistula is mainly done by seeds. Seeds have long survival and their viability can be maintained for more than 3 years in hermetic storage at room temperature with 13 ± 2% moisture content. Seeds previously soaked in sulphuric acid or manually scarified can be directly sown or planted in containers. Seedlings raised in containers will be ready for planting out after 2-3 years. During the first stages of growth, seedlings require large amount of water. The golden tree is a slow growing tree that sheds its leaves every 9-10 months. It may require 8-9 years before first flowering and pod production. The tree coppices vigorously and produces root suckers freely. Vegetative propagation may reduce timelaps to flowering.
