Also called Foothill or Littleleaf Paloverde, this is a small to medium-sized tree that grows to 12 by 15 feet in full sun and dry, sandy or rocky soil. It is very tough and drought tolerant, remaining leafless for most of the year and retaining water well. In early spring, this tree produces dense, yellow blooms that attract hummingbirds and many insect species.
