--------------------------------------

A delicate appearance with compound leaves which are a mid green in colour. A very pretty tree when in bloom, with panicles of creamy white pea like flowers. Long grey seed pods appear in autumn just before leaf fall. A medium sized tree with a wide round crown, later becoming fan shaped. The slightly twisting, dark green trunk and older branches are unusual as they have white lenticels (elongated spots) along their length. A highly recommended tree for use in town and city gardens to create, light dappled shade.
