Other: The Feather Tree is native to the state of Arizona and a small part of Mexico. It features soft, feathery, fern-like foliage and is very resilient, tolerating a range of conditions including full sun, heat, drought, and sandy or rocky soil. It can also adapt to coastal conditions, pollution, and moist soil. As a legume, it can help fix nitrogen in the soil. This plant can be considered a large shrub or a small tree that can be shaped as desired. It grows around 2 feet per year and is valued both as an ornamental and shade tree. The foliage remains evergreen to partly deciduous with bright golden yellow leaves in the ‘fall’. In spring, it blooms with clusters of white flower balls that develop into 4 – 6 inch long seed pods by fall.
