please identify these 2 trees

netnada · 16th January 2011, 01:34 PM

I have tried the online tree identify programs but have been unsuccessful

could someone please identify these two trees.

the tree with the pods explodes with a mass of yellow flowers.

The other two pics are of the same tree. It has spikes in the branches

hope someone can help

thankyou

The first one looks like Tecoma Stans ... a weed! Check your local council etc if it is a weed, it is up here.

The other might be Cassia sp but don't hold me to it, there's many types and I see no flower or seed. Maybe if you look through Google pics you'll pick it out if it is.

that was quick thanks

the first tree is definately Tecoma Stans

Second tree
I have never seen the second tree flower like the pics on google.
My neighbor has the same tree it is about 3 metres tall.

they do prune it back every year. Once it loses all of its leaves.

Well, does it flower yellow like most Cassias? They can be weedy too, some ssp are!

netnada · 16th January 2011, 02:26 PM

The flowers are more whitish colour.

It tends to send a lot of suckers out aswell.

Oh, Adelaide eh .... could be Robinia sp

I think the second is a Tipuana tipu.

Yes Yellow Bells (Tecoma Stans), a weed in SEQ

Dont think the second is Tipuana tipu if it has spikes on stem. Could be Honey Locust although the leaves look a little more round. Is it Amblygonocarpus andongensis?? Looks similar!!

Definitely looks like a Robinia pseudoacacia. The suckering, thorns and deciduous habit are good indicators. Bloody weed....

Steve Tipton · 18th January 2011, 02:22 PM

I also think it is probably Robinia Psuedoacacia, Golden Honey Locust.

netnada · 18th January 2011, 08:46 PM

Yep I think you've got it. (Robinia pseudoacacia)

Another neighbor has the same tree but it is about 20m tall
It looks exactly the same when in flower.

Living in Adelaide should I pull these both these types of trees out?

& can you suggest anything for my back yard keeping in mind I have a Garden size of 8m by 10m. I only want a tree to grow to about 5m height

Thanks to everyone.
