Notes
Small tree or large shrub that can reach a mature size of 24' x 18' . Growth habit is irregular, with long spiny branches. The small green leaves that line the branches are drought-deciduous, but will remain on the plant with supplemental irrigation. Bright red flower clusters appear primarily in spring, but can bloom intermittently throughout the year.
