Parkinsonia praecox (Cercidium praecox)

Palo Brea

A meandering winding multi-branched structure distinct from their Palo Verde cousins. Give them room to grow to fully enjoy their branching habit. Because they are slower growing than Palo Verdes they are easily maintained, but do not over-water as this will encourage a vigorous rank growth habit that is prone to failure.
