Comments:
This is an excellent low branched shade tree not normally used in the Lower South but has many oustanding features. It is a relatively clean tree. Compound leaves are similar to pecan foliage but the margins are smooth rather than toothed. Autumn color is outstanding. The fruit are similar to chinaberries, but a bit more golden in color and more wrinkled.
