You are bidding on 15 LITTLELEAF FALSE TAMARIND SEEDS - Lysiloma watsonii.


Commonly called littleleaf false tamarind, feather bush, feather tree, tepeguaje , Alamos tree or fern of the desert .

 

This is a semi-evergreen to deciduous, multi-stemmed, large shrub to medium sized tree native to rocky slopes, canyons, thorn-scrub and tropical deciduous forests of the Rincon Mountains in southern Arizona, United States, and northern Sonora, Mexico.

 

In the wild (especially in the warmer and wetter southern end of its native range) individuals can reach 45-50' tall. This fast growing species will have an upright growth habit when young, while mature specimens take on a more spreading canopy shape. Its branches lack the thorns commonly found on other desert legumes. The bipinnately compound foliage (up to 6" long) has a fine, feathery appearance, and turns yellow in the spring before dropping off and being replaced by vibrant, lime-green new growth. The arrival of spring rains also triggers blooming. Creamy-white flowers are held in terminal clusters of spherical racemes (around 0.5" in diameter). The flowers are followed by large, flattened, pendulous bean pods (up to 9" long and 1" wide) that mature from green to brown.

Height: 11.00 to 15.00 feet
