Description

This small tree/shrub brings forth a burst of bright orange yellow color in its flowers of 1-2", which are loosely clustered at the ends of branches. After flowering, it benefits from severe pruning to control size and decrease seed production. It can reach 15-18' tall by 15' wide.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
