Golden Rain tree and Indian Bean tree

As you stroll along the spectacular College Street you will come to a Golden Rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata) and an Indian Bean tree (Catalpa bignonioides).

The Golden Rain tree has bright green leaves which turn brilliant oranges and yellows in autumn and small yellow flowers in July and August which are followed by fruits.

The Indian Bean tree has pale green leaves and flowers that are white, marked with orange and purple. It also produces fruit which is a slender and bean-like pod.
