Dalbergia sisso

Sissoo / Indian Rosewood

Easily one of the fastest growing and largest shade trees available in the Arizona Desert. A constant drop of small silver dollar sized leaves makes these messy, in a lawn they can be mowed under, and are otherwise easy to care for. Their fast root systems will make short work of nearby structures if planted too close.
