I was hoping to buy a 7-8 ft. specimen but frankly I have no idea if Green Acres or any of our other Sacramento area nurseries even carry palo verde. Parkinsonia florida or microphylla would be fine; I don't want a Parkinsonia aculeata because of the thorns.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-5799458193843529602013-07-03T08:35:02.819-07:002013-07-03T08:35:02.819-07:00Loree, chances are good that this may happen!!Loree, chances are good that this may happen!!Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-71461242223845701662013-07-02T21:40:24.605-07:002013-07-02T21:40:24.605-07:00I really wish I could plant this tree in my garden...I really wish I could plant this tree in my garden, the next best thing would be if you did (and of course take lots of pictures)...danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-11556906658171501672013-07-02T20:02:34.581-07:002013-07-02T20:02:34.581-07:00I have a couple of 1 gallon parkinsonia microphyll...I have a couple of 1 gallon parkinsonia microphylla (foothill palo verde) that I started from seed last fall, that you could have if you want, Gerhard. I wanted one for the cactus garden to provide light filtered shade to prevent sunburn on the cacti, and grew a few more than I needed, in case the first I planted didn’t make it. It’s about 18 inches high now and growing vigorously, so I think I’m safe giving you one. If you’re willing to search for it, the best one is Parkinsonia “desert museum”, which is a thornless hybrid and has a longer flowering time than the various species.suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876157448125007929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-13915868965287169182013-07-02T14:44:09.654-07:002013-07-02T14:44:09.654-07:00Sophora microphylla is just as stunning.
