Description

Small evergreen tree or large shrub grows slowly to 15' x 15'. Has attractive silver-grey foliage. 'Silver Peso' is thornless and one of the cleanest trees around. Large purple clusters of wisteria like flowers smelling of grape bubblegum appear in the spring. Deep infrequent summer irrigations will encourage faster growth. Seeds are poisonous but extremely hard.

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
