  Set out a golden chain tree this year. It started out well, the chains grew and the yellow flowers started opening and then all the sudden it looks like it is dying. The leaves are curling up and the chains didn't completely open. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

    Mine started out well last year, then looked like it was dying the rest of the year. This year it didn't bloom but leafed out nicely but now looks like it is dying. I think it doesn't like temperatures above 80 F.

    Our Golden Chain did similar to yours. I had a tree doctor come look at it, he stated the Golden Chain tress attract some kind of bug (don't remember what the name was) and I should get rid of it. The tree was to pretty to do that so I doused the tree with Malathion mixed with water per the bottles directions for fruit trees. I also watered the tree twice weekly with a misture of 1/4 cup Malathion to ten gallons water. That was more then 15 years ago and the tree is still kicking and very beautiful in the spring. I continue watering with the Malathion mixture however only once or twice a year.
