| Hello!
I inherited this tree about 6 months ago from a neighbour that passed away. I have no idea what kind of tree it is, though someone on this forum suggested a goldenrain. However, it does not make the fruit/seeds that I see in goldenrain pics. It has always been in direct sunlight from about midday to sunset ( in a big pot, that I changed this year). It lives in Paris, France. It's leaves are thin and smooth, no fuzz on the bottom. The leaves turn a wonderous red in the autumn before falling off. Last summer we had terrible weather. It was so cold in August that the tree turned red and lost all of its leaves by the end of the month, which certainly hasn't helped it's health. As you can see from the photos attached, most of the branches are 4/5ths bare, though there are lots of nice leaves on the ends of the branches. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to bring leaves back to the rest of the branches? Can I cut them short (at the end of winter, I know). Or is it possible to graft the ends of the branches back onto the base of the tree? I need to know what tree it is first in order to try and treat it! You can see (bad, I apologize) photos of the tree here :
I would appreciate any help you can give! Cheers! |

| Certainly looks like a starving Kohlreuteria paniculata. Can you plant it into the ground? It will not flower or fruit while it is so unhappy. |
