Description

Gold Medallion Tree is an evergreen subtropical tree that reaches 20' tall and 25' wide, with glossy leaves and upright, 1' long clusters of large, bright yellow flowers. Its bloom period occurs in the summer. The plant should be grown in sun with average to little summer watering. While it will tolerate some frost, recovering quickly from damage, it performs best with summer heat. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
