This is a male California Box Elder. (So no seeds). A small flowering tree that is tidy, rather nice looking, not huge, somewhat tolerant of water or drought, and actually very useful. We found this and started growing it in 2007, based on our experiences, it seems a nice small tree for that small front yard or street edge that is abused with bubblers or no water, rock or lawn. Works in hot spots where Japanese maples fries. It has nice big leaves and makes good shade. Named for Bert Wilson, founder of Las Pilitas nursery.
