This desert tree is resilient in times of drought. It grows quickly with very little water and is a great choice for those who want shade soon after planting. Small cream-colored flowers show up in the summer. Its elegant weeping structure is rather unique, and its evergreen foliage provides dappled shade throughout the year.
