Golden Shower (Cassia fistula), known as Amaltas, is a magnificent flowering tree celebrated for its long, pendulous chains of bright golden-yellow blossoms that cascade across the canopy in summer. A semi-deciduous tree with spreading branches and pinnate green foliage, it is a favourite avenue and ornamental tree throughout India, and the state flower of Kerala. After flowering, it bears long cylindrical brown seed pods. Hardy, drought-tolerant and adaptable to most soils, it thrives in hot tropical conditions. With its dazzling golden display and graceful form, Amaltas brings breathtaking seasonal beauty to streets, parks and large gardens.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Golden Shower?
Water young trees moderately to establish them; mature Amaltas is drought-tolerant and needs little extra watering.
How much sunlight does it need?
It requires full, direct sun for healthy growth and the best display of its cascading golden flowers.
Is Golden Shower safe for pets?
The fruit pulp is mildly laxative and seeds are not for casual eating, so keep pets from chewing pods and seeds.
Can it be grown in a pot?
Only as a young sapling; it becomes a large tree and is best planted in open ground with room to grow.
How do I propagate it?
Propagate from seeds, which germinate much faster after scarification or soaking in warm water overnight.
Why is my Amaltas not flowering?
Young trees take a few years to bloom, and shade or excess nitrogen can delay it. Give full sun and time.
When does Amaltas bloom?
It flowers spectacularly in summer, usually April to June, draping the canopy in golden-yellow chains.
Is it suitable for small gardens?
It grows into a large spreading tree, so it is best for avenues, parks and large gardens rather than small plots.
Is the tree toxic?
The flowers are harmless, but the fruit pulp is a strong natural laxative and the seeds should not be casually eaten.
What fertilizer should I use?
Apply compost or a balanced NPK fertilizer once or twice a year while young; mature trees need minimal feeding.
