Shade - Palo Verde - Desert Museum

Desert Museum Hybrid palo verde is a fast-growing deciduous tree of medium size that develops an upright canopy habit.  In contrast to other types of palo verde, this cultivar has thornless chartreuse-green stems and branches. Vast numbers of lemon-yellow flowers are produced each spring for a dramatic display.  It is easily pruned into a canopy tree that provides filtered shade and accent value in many settings. It grows best in well-draining soils, and exposed to full sun and heat. Summer water should be deep and infrequent; over-watering can lead to fast growth and weak branching.
