Buttercup Tree

Cassia John Ball, commonly known as the Buttercup Tree or Cassia Plant, is a large and colourful, deciduous shrub. It becomes enshrined by masses of showy, rich yellow flowers from autumn through early winter. The foliage is mid-green and develops yellow tones in autumn before falling as it grows to 3 m tall and the same wide. Cassia John Ball is commonly included in a mixed planting, grown as a specimen, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants.
