When the blooms are finished and the petals drop to the ground resembling a "Golden Rain" blanket, hence the common name. The yellow color is echoed in the feathery compound leaves come fall, but it is inconsistent, so not particularly showy. The fruit display is very distinctive with three-parted dry tan capsules, and these showy fruits are sometimes used in dried arrangements.The golden rain tree is native to China, Japan, Korea, and Manchuria. It was first introduced to North America in 1763. It is currently on the National Park Service, Mid-Atlantic Exotic Plant Management Team Invasive Plant List.The genus name, Koelreuteria, is in honor of Joseph Gottlieb Koelreuter who was a German professor of botany and experimented with plant hybridization in the 18th century.
