    The Golden Rain Tree is a very beautiful flowering tree with yellow blooms and beautiful rose colored seed pods in the fall. I've found seedlings sprouting in a few of my flower beds compliments of seed blowing from a large tree in a neighbor's yard down the street. This tree is listed as a Category II exotic invasive here in Florida so I pull any seedlings I find and dispose of them.
