Very hardy, evergreen, drought resistant tree with a graceful, weeping form and dark, fissured bark that contrasts beautifully with the long, thin, bright, trifoliate leaves. The inconspicuous yellow-green flowers (male and female flowers on separate plants, therefore only female plants bear fruit) from June to Sept. attract insects and are followed by bunches of fruit that attract birds. The small flowers are borne in abundance and give the tree a lacy look when in bloom. An excellent garden subject that thrives in clay soils and is fast growing if watered regularly.
