Moderately fast-growing semi-evergreen tree to 25-40’ tall x 30-60’ wide or greater with age. This attractive species eventually develops a wide canopy of pinnately-divided, dark-green leaves accented with an abundance of showy, golden-yellow flowers that appear on the branch tips in late-spring to early summer. Flowers are followed by interesting winged seed pods that emerge green, maturing to brown by the end of summer. Tolerant of a wide variety of soil conditions but prefers a more acidic PH level and a regular watering schedule. Great as a lawn, street or patio tree, though its prolific blooming nature is to be considered when choosing a planting location. Thrives in a full sun exposure.
