About this plant
The blue palo verde is a small to medium-sized tree with smooth, blue-green bark that photosynthesizes. It produces bright yellow flowers in spring and has small, compound leaves that drop during drought periods. The tree is drought-deciduous, meaning it can drop its leaves to conserve water.
