Cercidium x ‘Desert Museum’ is a fast-growing, thornless, hybrid shade tree featuring a bright green trunk, delicate, compound lime-green leaves and extended blooming of large yellow flowers. It is highly prized in arid landscapes for its striking architectural form and lack of messy seed pods. Excellent for specimen planting, focal points, streetscapes, and xeriscaping. Can be pruned as a large shrub or small tree. Because its canopy is light and airy, it provides filtered shade. Prefers full sun; not shade-tolerant. It thrives in well-drained, sandy, loamy, or rocky soils. Tolerates high alkalinity but dislikes waterlogged, heavy soils. It has very low to moderate water needs. It requires regular watering to establish, but highly drought-tolerant once established. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Deer-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 15°F.
