I am looking for a couple of Golden Rain Trees but can't seem to find any at any of the usual outlets (Berns, Delhi, or the lowes,HD stores) any suggestions?

Bob try Springhill nursery catalog (they are north of Dayton) seems I remember seeing them in there years ago.

I have never heard of this type of tree.

I haven't either.

There's a tree at our piano teacher's house I'd like to know the name of. It's fairly short but is shaped like a large umbrella at the top, os it provides great shade. It's a beautiful front yard kind of tree.

A very nice tree indeed. Although by looking at the picture one has to wonder if it could survive our climate. Seeing as there are palms in the picture. I would be interested in a tree like this as well if it could survive.

It's a zone 5-6 tree so it would be fine.

Interesting tree, no doubt. I can get you seedlings. Many of them. That's the downside of this tree; it drops a fair number of seeds. The next Amur honeysuckle? Maybe not that bad, IMO, but certainly bears watching.

I'll get some potted up and bring 'em whenever we fix a plant swap day.
