Rainbow shower tree description

The Cassia x Nealiae (Rainbow Shower, or Rainbow cassia) tree is an example of a natural hybrid between the golden shower tree (Cassia Fistula) and apple blossom cassia (Cassia Javanica). The Cassia Fistula has yellow flowers, while the Cassia Javanica has pinkish red flowers. The Rainbow Cassia hybrid occurred in a garden in Hawaii. In Hawaii, there are no native cassia species, although they are easy to spot in that region. This hybrid is so attractive that additional plants were produced by intentional cross-breeding. Because of its popularity in Honolulu, and being the most common tree, it is the official tree in the city.

Cassia Nealiae tree resembles the appearance, growth habit and landscape use of its parent species. If you take a look at images in the gallery, the flower shapes are very similar. Also, they all have a fast growth rate. Its abundant flowers produce variably colored blooms with shades of white, yellow, pink, orange, and red; and few if any pods, reducing the litter problem.

Thanks to its gorgeous display of flowers, rainbow cassia tree is desirable as an ornamental tree. It is a good choice for gardens or parks as a showy accent or specimen tree.

Rainbow Shower

Description

El Rainbow Shower es un ejemplo de un híbrido natural que se produjo en un jardín en Hawaii donde no hay especies nativas de cassia, entre el árbol Shower Gold ( Cassia fistula ) y cassia apple flower (Cassia javanica ). El híbrido era tan atractivo que las plantas adicionales fueron producidos por cruzamientos intencionales. Este híbrido produce muy pocas semillas y por lo tanto se propaga por injerto. Este árbol es más deseable como ornamental, ya que tiene abundantes flores que duran más, produce flores de forma variable de colores con tonos de blanco , amarillo , rosa, naranja y rojo, y produce pocas reduciendo el problema de la basura. Es el árbol de  calle más común en Honolulu y ha sido diseñado como árbol oficial de esa ciudad. Es una buena opción para jardines o parques.
