Pink and White Shower Tree

paulchow Flowers

Every year around April the only registered Old and Valuable Tree (OVT) of its species in Hong Kong, the Pink and White Shower Tree (cassia javanica var. indochinensis, 節果決明 ) at the ‘Murray’, a former government building turned Hotel, is beginning to bloom and the green treetop gradually turns into a sea of pink and white.

The species is also known as Java Cassia, Pink Shower, Apple Blossom Tree and Rainbow Shower Tree.  A splendid tall and old tree, with beautiful pinnate green leaves, which open up to cascading clusters of pink to pale pink and creamy white flowers.  One will never forget it once having an encounter with it.  Many Hong Kong people as well as visitors, come here to admire its beauty every year.
