Description

Small evergreen tree or large shrub grows slowly to 15' x 15'. Has attractive silver-grey foliage. 'Silver Peso' is thornless and one of the cleanest trees around. Large purple clusters of wisteria like flowers smelling of grape bubblegum appear in the spring. Deep infrequent summer irrigations will encourage faster growth. Seeds are poisonous but extremely hard.
