Pale gray-green, weeping leaves – narrow and up to 12 inches long – give this tree a lacey appearance that makes a graceful silhouette against a bare wall. It is an unusual, fast-growing desert tree that reaches 30 ft. or more and 15-20 ft. wide and provides light shade. Its slim form fits into just about any landscape. Clusters of pale yellow, ball-shaped flowers that appear in spring, and the deeply-textured, maroon colored bark also add to the year-round interest of this drought tolerant tree.
