CLADRASTIS LUTEA PERKINS PINK
Grower Notes:

Also known as Rosea Yellowwood, this uncommon cultivar produces long, weeping cascades of fragrant pink, pea-like flowers in early summer that resemble Wisteria blooms. Compound leaves open as yellowish green, turn bright green in summer and then turn yellow in autumn.

It is used as a shade tree where an Oak or Maple may be a bit too large. It thrives in full sun and average to evenly moist conditions. It will not tolerate standing water. It can somewhat tolerate urban pollution and will benefit from a sheltered location.
