Other Details | While other trees are preparing for winter, Winter Cassia is just waking up. This sprawling, semi-evergreen shrub, reaching a height of 8 to 10 feet with an equal spread, produces blossoms in fall that resemble golden butterflies. Bright yellow flowers appear at a time of year when little else is in bloom. This plant has a place in any sunny landscape.Winter Cassia benefits from frequent pinching of the young shoot tips during the growing season up to the beginning of September; this encourages branching and increases the number of flowers. Appropriate training can produce a very small specimen tree which looks nice growing in a low ground cover. Trees often fall over and will require staking to hold them upright. For this reason, it is easiest to place it in a shrub border among other shrubs which will help hold it erect. Well worth the effort to stake a specimen tree, if needed, since the tree is simply stunning in flower. Tolerant of many soil conditions, Winter Cassia needs full sun for best growth and flowering, and needs little care once established. Plant it and forget about it, except for occasional watering during drought. A good plant for highway median or roadside specimen or cluster planting. Propagation is by seed or cuttings.

Re: Senna bicapsularis, Winter Cassia
Arif sb and Umar sb the problem with real and majestic Amaltas is that it is a very very slower grower. This pseudo-Amaltas seems like a fast growing tree perhaps thats why people prefer it. In the first go, it does look like real Amaltas but it is nowhere near the real one.
