"Yellow Rain Tree" Enterolobium saman


The Beautiful Golden Rain Tree

When entering the Maryland Nursery

You can see a number of yellow rain trees grow in the nursery.

The rain tree ( Samanea saman ) is a large spreading tree native to Central America.   It is proven to be an excellent tree for parks and gardens in Singapore because of its majestic shape and resistance to pests and diseases.  Among the many rain trees propagated in Singapore, some were found to grow with yellow rather than green foliage.   The green pigment ( chlorophyll ) is masked by a yellow one.  It seems likely that a genetic mutation is involved but the exact cause of the yellowing has yet to be identified. The yellow trees appear to be sterile.  The yellow rain trees have been used to majestic effect in the landscaping in local famous parks. We are the only nursery in Singapore and South- East Asia had a large number of Yellow Rain Trees. Welcome to our nursery.  We are on the left hand side of the farm which belong to Maryland Nursery.   Please call to make an appointment at (65) 90210133  for viewing the nursery.
