    If you had an unexpected frost or freeze during late winter/early spring, this could have affected the buds. The soil could also be lacking phosphorus. Add some phosphorus-rich fertilizer or bone meal to the soil to help encourage blooming.

    I would consider placing your Laburnum onto a trellis.
    You can grow it much like you would a Wisteria Vine.

    It is best to grow it with one leader and they generally do not need pruning.

    Unfortunately the seed pods are part of the natural tree process.
    Removing the seed pods that drop by raking and disposing of is recommended.
    All part of the tree are poisonous, so keeping the tree litter cleaned up is crucial for the safety of children and pets that may mistake the seeds pods for something to eat.

    I don't see any data on whether people have been injured by burning laburnum wood, but breathing the smoke could potentially be a health hazard. The toxin in laburnum is cytisine, a chemical relative of nicotine, so it could probably be inhaled in the smoke when the parts of the plant are burned, like nicotine can.

    Maturity is at 15 years, and blooming regularly by the age of 3 to 5 years. Some growers do report a every other year bloom.
