Spring season,’ an intermediate phase between winter and summer signifies the emergence of new life to many deciduous trees. Also, it marks the end of the weird look of barren tree trunks and fallen leaves. Many exotic and native trees begin new life with blooms on the leafless branches, soon covering the whole tree. Thus providing a spectacular floral display. ‘Tree of gold’ is one such tree, the most delightful to watch at the beginning of the season itself. Draped all over the crown with a mass of golden coloured blooms, they attract the attention of passersby.
