White-cream or pale pink flowers with inner speckles of red or purple-red appear in late spring to early summer. Decurrent habit, pyramidal when young, becoming a dense, broadly crowned, rounded tree at maturity. Excellent for privacy screens or windbreaks, particularly when planted in rows. Provides dense shade. It needs full sun. Prefers well-drained soils but tolerant of poor, rocky, or sandy soil. Highly drought-resistant and thrives in dry, sunny, desert conditions. Fire-retardant. Deer-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
