    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of the most beautiful of desert trees native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Very slender tree matures between 15-20' high. Good for next to buildings as it grows almost entirely upward, with leaves drooping downward like a weaping willow. Slow growing. Cold hardy to 25 °F. For sale are trees in small pots but very tall....1-2 ft. Some are starting to get pot bound, but I don't think this will be a permanent set back. WE CANNOT SHIP LIVE PLANTS INTERNATIONALLY!
