Laburnum ~ Goldenchain Tree

First I know how toxic these are, never stopped me before and I have a whole yard of toxic plants!!

When DH wanted this well I rebelled as I don't do 'yellow' so we put this where I didn't have to look at it all the time, on the other side of his truck!! Well when the big tree came down he suggested for a quick fix to move his tree as I wasn't ready to go tree shopping and had a lot of tender shade lovers planted out front. Well afer a year there and many comments on her gracefullness she her place in the yard now. Not only does she but I have been talked into six more rooted cuttings and yes there is one over by his truck parking space! He really missed her not being there.
