This South American native is a semi-deciduous tree. The leaves are divided into many oblong leaflets that give it a somewhat delicate, lacy appearance. Blooms profusely in the summer with yellow, sweet-pea shaped flowers. Fast growing 25-35 feet tall and very wide.

Tolerates drought once established but appreciates occasional deep irrigation. Does well in any soil except strong alkaline.
