ARIZONA ROSEWOOD
- An evergreen large shrub or small tree, native
to Southern Arizona. Needs to be pruned and trained if a single-trunk
tree is desired. Interesting branching pattern. Hardy to 15 degrees
F.
- Dark green, stiff leaves with serrated margins 2-3 inches
long. Clusters of white flowers in late spring and early summer.
Develop small, brown fruit pods, about a quarter inch long, that
hang on the tree until about the following winter. Drought and
heat tolerant; a good addition to the desert garden.
- Grows 15-20 feet tall, slightly less wide.
