Although sometimes known as Pride of India, this handsome smallish tree actually comes from China. Its attractive foliage is accompanied in the summer by a fine display of elegant sprays of bright yellow flowers, which is especially good in warm, sheltered sites. The flowers are followed by inflated bladder-like fruits. Its dark red bark is striking in winter and contrasts handsomely with the new pinkish-red foliage produced in spring. In autumn, the leaves turn bright yellow and fall early. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it the Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
