Adams Laburnum - Laburnocytisus adamii - 140-180cm Heavy Grade Young Tree

This is an incredible plant, and it would be easy to forgive mis-identification of a brightly coloured clematis scrambling through a normal yellow laburnum tree from a distance if you did not know it was an Adams Laburnum. A deciduous tree, featuring both rich pink and golden canary yellow flowers on the same branches this is a horticultural rarity, discovered by chance when a French nurseryman unwittingly, yet effectively produced a hybrid between Laburnum and Cytisus purpureus - also known as the Purple Broom.

The result is an abundance pendulous flowers, which give the tree an elegant look, with the blooms produced in shades of yellow, mauve-pink and sometimes salmon pink. These attractive flowers are produced from late spring through to early summer. Hardy and low maintenance, grow this spectacular plant as a specimen tree to appreciate its unusual flowers from all angles.

Adam's Laburnum is slow-growing so is an ideal tree for the smaller garden, reaching four to eight metre tall at maturity if left unpruned. Our trees are supplied potted in containers as heavy grade stock at around 140-180cm tall.
