        Whilst we were away last week in France we saw some magnificent trees. I think these are Koelreuteria paniculata :scratch: They're certainly looking good.

        Anyone know for sure and does anyone have one, or more? :)

          They certainly look like Koelreuteria paniculata. It is a magnificent tree when mature. I have a small one coming along from seed.

                      What a magnificent tree! It reminded me of a Colutea Arborescens (bladder senna) I grew at one time about 150 years ago.
