Description:

Cassia javanica typically reaches a height of 20 to 40 feet, forming a rounded crown with spreading branches. The pinnate leaves are glossy green and provide a lush backdrop to the profusion of showy flowers. The blossoms, resembling small orchids, emerge in large, pendulous racemes, creating a striking visual display.

Care Guide:
1. **Location:** Plant in a sunny to partially shaded location, ensuring the tree receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

2. Soil: Cassia javanica thrives in well-draining soil.

3. Watering: while young, keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. When larger the trees will reach for ground water.

4. Fertilization: Feed the tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).

5. Pruning: generally low-maintenance in terms of pruning.

6. Pest and Disease Control: The tree is generally resistant to many diseases. Monitor for pests like aphids and caterpillars. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.

7. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
