Sophora microphylla 'Sun King'

Sun King' is a very attractive evergreen small tree. The glossy pinnate foliage is an attraction in itself. The yellow pea-like flowers hang down in clusters, long flowering, from late winter onwards and are very beautiful. If you have a sheltered, sunny corner this plant is definitely well worth considering.
