Description
Deciduous tree, 30', flowers yellow, Mar.-May, green bark, tree bare most of the year, lower deserts of Ca., Ariz., full sun, drought tolerant, needs perfect drainage and no summer water, seeds may be ground into edible meal . Cold hardy to somewhere about 10 degrees F. We've had some killed in containers at 15 degrees F., others tolerant to below 10 degrees F. This species has the funny trait of forming water-repellent soils under it. By not allowing the water to stay under it and shedding the water out to its drip line it can out compete even the annuals. That is why you find few plants under Cercidium, mostly only the ones that are mycorrhizally linked to the Cercidium. Desert washes in Creosote woodland.
