Description

Striking, generally multi-trunked, deciduous tree to 25' tall and wide. Three-way cross between P. aculeata, P. microphyllum, and P. floridum. Trees are thornless and produce abundant clusters of yellow fragrant flowers in the spring that attract bees. This tree has a smooth green colored trunk. Leaves are tiny and light green. It does best in full sun in clay, loam or sandy soil. Very attractive. Mature trees are drought tolerant.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
