The Chinese Flame Tree, botanical name Koelreuteria bipinnata, is a show-stopping deciduous tree perfect for any landscape! With its beautiful summertime bloom of vibrant yellow, fragrant flowers and long papery husks that resemble Chinese lanterns appearing in fall, this Chinese native can brighten up any yard with natural curb appeal! This tree provides year-round interest and is a perfect tree for anyone that is looking for a smaller shade tree with a neat and tidy habit! We also like to plant them near patios, and since they have non-invasive roots, they are also a good tree to plant under and planting near the street!

This Koelreuteria tree is a cousin of the Golden Rain Tree and is easy to grow. It thrives in a location with full sun exposure, and once established will have low to moderate watering needs. The best time to prune this Chinese Flame Tree is in the winter, and we recommend feeding it with fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.

Chinese Flame trees are full of interesting colors and texture, making them an excellent companion to other colorful trees and plants such as Purple Leaf Plum trees and evergreen shrubs such as Shiny Xylosma and Fraser's photinia.

    It adds a lot of interesting color to our backyard. There's these little flowers that grow on it that look EXACTLY like Chinese lanterns. Its very interesting and we've never seen anything like it. My wife calls it her "Lantern tree". Very cool tree. Thanks Moon Valley for having every tree imaginable and giving my wife a tree she loves bragging about.
