This is a very graceful tree with a unique flat top which creates an interesting canopy effect. The light sensitive leaves close at night. It has delightful, fluffy pink summer flowers and fern like leaves. It is a fast grower, but in this region seldom grows taller than 25 feet. It enjoys high summer heat when adequate water is provided. It is hardy to USDA Zone 6, but handles colder winters better as it ages. When the flowers fade and fall off, they create a beautiful, soft, pink carpet.
