A beautiful tree with darker bark and vigorous growth. Perfect canopy effect if trimmed and kept neat. Mine happens to be by our pool and we suffer in Phoenix from Jan – March while the fine blades and stalks fall. Around June flowers will arrive then followed with a bean drop. Yes these are messy trees but take very little water and are indestructible.
