Desert Cassia is a small tree with a feathery branches and arching canopy. The yellow flower is visited by bees and butterflies all the time. The fine feathery compound leaves are evergreen but might be shed if the winter becomes too dry or too cold. It grows best on full sun and well drained sandy soil. Can tolerate drought and  heat. It appears the best if it left to grow into an umbrella shape canopy.
