Most gardeners are happy with a tree in a 3-gallon container. With minimal care, the trees root quickly in the soil and can produce the first crop within three to five years. It's recommended to remove fruits that form during the first few years to allow the tree to devote energies to shoot and leaf growth.

Black and red bugs are everywhere in my landscape. I see a golden-rain tree in your yard or that of a neighbor. These are golden-rain tree bugs, which feed mainly on the seeds. They keep many of the seeds from germinating and becoming a nuisance. At this time of year golden-rain tree bugs are mating and migrating into the landscape.
