John the Laburnum (AKA Golden rain) is poisonous, wood root leaves
seeds, in short entirely, so don't consume either through mouth or
nose, skin contact is no problem in my experience, beautiful wood to
turn, over here the plants barely survive, I have a couple of small
plants, but it surely takes a hundred years to get a small tree if any
at all.
Have fun and take care
