  • Description

  • Notes

This semievergreen tree grows at a moderate to fast rate to 30' x 30'. It has beautiful dark-blue green leaves and an attractive multi-trunked shape. Yellow, funnel-shaped petals appear in spring and are followed by a few light tan pods. Accepts full sun. Can be weaned off of supplemental irrigation once it reaches desired size. Lush appearance makes it a highly adaptable tree for patios, walkways and for shade. Small thorns do not seem to be a problem. - Arid Zone Trees
