IF GIN IS USED OR CREDITS REACH 2000 YOU WILL RECEIVE (5) EXTRA SEEDS ON THIS AUCTION...

Though it is a rather ordinary looking tree when not in bloom, when the flowers appear, the tree transforms into a vision of loveliness. The blooms will last for around 10 to 12 days, during which time the clusters of yellow flowers which are displayed dramatically, suspended in wisteria fashion giving the tree the appearance of dripping with golden chains. Some of the cascading blooms can extend downward up to 24 inches long. The tree also features olive green bark on the trunk which can provide interest against winter white snow and foliage in the summer that is beautifully bright green.
The Golden Chain is considered in the small tree category. It develops a vase like shape as it grows, with an ultimate spread almost as wide as it is tall. Amazingly, the tree is actually a member of the pea family, and produces pods approximately 3 inches in length that are likened to the vegetable in appearance. This variety grows quickly to achieve its maximum height, but is not a long lived specimen in the landscape, as it lasts only around 20 years.

Welcome and don't be afraid to ask questions at any time. We were all new at one time. GIN mean "get it now" if you look towards the top of the listing there is a credit amount on some listings that means if you want it you can automatically without going through the bidding process. I also fanned you or you will sometimes see f&W , f&b or FYB that is fanned and watching or fanned and bidding and fanned you back.
