Is a euc. Prune at or near grade. Plant an olive or something.

Palo verde. Something more desertish.

I despise palo verde

No use except looks like a palm, and sometimes spiky

AZ state tree is Palo Verde

Stephen maintains a few down the hill from us that are really nicely structured, if small.

You live in a strange place, if they prune their Palo Verde to look like palms.

In my own visits to the desert regions of the SW, I have always found palo verde to be an attractive tree, though by my standards more of a shrub .

Except when festooned with wind-blown plastic bags and sheeting .

I'm much more likely to appreciate a native species over a non-native, almost always.

They don’t look like palms, but they are equally difficult to deal with and the wood turns to sponge.

I suppose they can look cool, and supply shade.

Lots of them east of us with the ironwood.

I think you are talking about Plasticus Virginiana.

Of course...I knew that .
