Info:

The Lophanthera lactescens, commonly referred to as the 'Golden Chain' tree, is a beautiful and ornamental tree native to the Amazon rainforest. Its common name is derived from its stunning chain-like cascades of yellow flowers, which attract a variety of pollinators.

Plantation:

  1. Site Selection: Opt for a location with full sunlight or partial shade.
  2. Soil Preparation: This tree prefers well-draining soil. A mixture of loam, sand, and a little bit of compost can provide the right environment.
  3. Planting Depth: Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the tree's root ball. Position the tree in the hole and backfill with soil, ensuring it is planted at the same depth it was in its pot.

Growing:

  1. Watering: It's crucial to water the tree regularly, especially during its first year. Once established, the tree can tolerate occasional drought.
  2. Fertilization: A slow-release granular fertilizer can be applied annually during the growing season.
  3. Pruning: Regular pruning isn't mandatory, but removing dead or damaged branches can be beneficial.

Care:

  1. Pests and Diseases: The 'Golden Chain' tree is relatively resistant to pests, but it's a good idea to watch out for common tree pests like aphids and caterpillars.
  2. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
  3. Protection: If located in an area with harsh winters, consider using tree wraps to protect the young trunk from cold snaps.

Benefits:

  1. Ornamental: Its unique golden chains of flowers are an attractive addition to any landscape.
  2. Pollinators: It attracts a variety of pollinators, helping support local ecosystems.
  3. Shade: When fully grown, the tree provides a significant amount of shade, ideal for outdoor resting spots.
