Laburnum Adami

Laburnum Adami - Is a graft-hybrid; the same tree, and even the same branch, bearing racemes of both yellow and purple flowers, and sometimes flowers of a dull purple. Old trees of these are quaint and not without beauty, though it is far from having the effect of the natural species and their varieties.

Alpine Laburnum

Alpine Laburnum (Laburnum Alpinum) - A hardy tree, native of the hill forests of France and C. Europe, reaching a height of nearly 40 feet. The natural form is a very beautiful tree, and from it varieties of the highest value have been raised and increased from time to time, among the best Parkesi, Watereri, autumnalis, biferum grandiflorum; hirsutum, pendulum, Vossi. The Alpine Laburnum and its best varieties may be known from the other European species by its longer raceme, broader and deeper green leaves, and later bloom. Grown from seed it varies a good deal. Some fine varieties came in that way.

Common Laburnum

Common Laburnum (Laburnum Vulgare) - A beautiful flowering tree of mountain woods on calcareous soil, but growing freely in any soil in our gardens, flowering densely and earlier than the Alpine Laburnum, and, like it, reaching almost tree-like stature—30 to 40 feet—in the best conditions. It has several varieties, among them Carlieri intermedium, pendulum, semperflorens, and quercifolium, and the inevitable worthless variegated forms.
