location
Zadnja Trenta valley, next to the upper Soča stream near its spring and below Soča trail; near the mountain cottage Koča pri izviru Soče, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: alpski nagnoj - syn.: Cytisus alpinus Mill. - Habitat: Narrow Alpine valley; steep mountain slopes above mountain stream, north and south aspect; light mixed wood; colluvial, rocky, skeletal, calcareous ground; shallow soil layer among rocks and boulders; partly in shade; elevation 830 m (2.720 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 3-5 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: There are quite a few richly and beautifully flowering trees growing in Julian Alps. Alpine Laburnum (Laburnum alpinum) is certainly one of them, if not the nicest one in spite of the fact that it never grows into a large tree. Its golden 'waterfalls' of flowers remain permanently in our consciousness. Although this South European species is widely distributed and quite common, one usually finds solitary trees scattered among other trees of light alpine woods. However, the site pictured here is unusually rich with these jewels. The mountain slopes ascending above blue and wild waters of Soča river are unforgettable in May. - Ref.: (1) M.A. Fischer, W.
