Description

This is a very graceful tree with a unique flat top which creates an interesting canopy effect. The light sensitive leaves close at night. It has delightful, fluffy pink summer flowers and fern like leaves. It is a fast grower to 40' tall when givenadequate water. It enjoys high summer heat. It is especially interesting when viewed from above, so it works well on down slopes.
