Prosopis chilensis thornless is a hybrid, semi-deciduous shade tree with a decurrent, wide, spreading, umbrella-like habit and featuring bipinnate compound leaves and pale yellow to greenish-cream, fuzzy, catkin-like spikes in late spring/early summer. Excellent for filtered shade in desert landscapes. Tolerates seacoast conditions. Other uses include focal point, windbreak, screen, erosion control, street tree. Its wood is desired for barbecuing. Very low water use once established; needs deep, infrequent watering to avoid shallow rooting and weak structure. It thrives in sandy, gravelly, rocky, or loamy textures. Tolerates poor, rocky, and compacted urban soils. Must have excellent drainage. Requires full sun, not shade tolerant. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 10°F.
