That's very nice of you ;-) i think mine will be ok now.
funny, i have a Golden Rain Tree. i didn't know i had it though.
my MIL had planted it but didn't remember what it was.
it had gotten spindly and looked dead, so we cut it bad. now i regret doing that b/c now it's growing kind of funny.
but... it did bloom (?) and seed for me this past year. i was really tickled to see what it was!!

I'd transferred my Cape Honeysuckle to a large pot, rocks and good drainage on the bottom, with good, fresh, healthy soil on top, and have been feeding it fairly regularly so it recovered nicely. It looks so good now! i did drop in a few rooted pieces a friend gave me of purple ruffled basil in the same pot. IT is now doing so well that it's almost overshadowing the honeysuckle!! ha!

anyway, have a look:
