What to know about the laburnum blossom
The laburnum is actually a very rewarding garden plant. For its light shading Treetop, which is wonderfully suitable as a canopy, and the decorative flower curtain, it hardly demands any special requirements. It is pronounced with regard to the soil as well as the sunlight and the watering frugal - and, as a rule, blooms well, especially under different conditions plentiful.

Nevertheless, he also has a few preferences when it comes to location:
- Soil: Rather loamy, but also sandy, more basic than acidic
- Light: As sunny to partially shaded as possible
The Laburnum is also not particularly prone to thirst. He usually copes well with prolonged periods of dryness and heat.
Despite this low or The production of the grape-like hanging, lush and strongly scented butterfly blossoms costs a feat of strength for the laburnum. However, because it concentrates less on the growth than on the height, and is more or less specialized in the formation of flowers, a lack of flowering is rather unusual.
Possible reasons for not blooming
If a laburnum does not bloom, there are only a handful of reasons given that it is so willing to bloom:
Conceivably unfavorable location
If the location is responsible for the failure to flower, it must be really miserable. That means: the soil could be extremely acidic and impermeable and the shrub could be in complete shade.
Age
It is more likely that the golden rain simply shows the age. Basically, the Laburnum doesn't get very old. And in its vital phase it expends enormous forces for the annual bloom. You must therefore grant him a pension from the age of around 15 at the latest.
Damaged root ball
The golden rain root ball is relatively sensitive due to its flat spread and fleshy texture. Massive damage could actually lead to failure to bloom. In any case, avoid rough floor work under him. Voles can also be to blame for root damage. Do the wobble test on the trunk. In the worst case, the bush can no longer be saved.
