Large deciduous shrub to small tree, typically multi-stemmed to 15 to 20ft with an upright round-topped vase shape. Native to dry slopes in California and southwestern Oregon. Compound leaves have 5 leaflets, dark green and finely toothed. Hummingbirds love the cylindrical panicles of sweet-scented, pink tinged creamy white flowers, in early summer. The fig-shaped fruits that follow open to a stunning, shiny chestnut...of the non-edible sort. Accepts summer moisture and tolerates heat and summer drought, able to go summer dormant in extreme drought. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7.
