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.
