Golden Ball Lead Tree

Leucaena retusa


Golden Ball Lead Tree is a delightful, fast-growing native tree that earns its name with cheerful, spherical golden-yellow flower heads that bloom repeatedly from spring through fall, brightening the landscape with an almost tropical exuberance. Growing 10-20 feet tall with an airy, open canopy and finely textured, feathery foliage, it brings a light, graceful quality to dry garden settings. Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, and perfectly adapted to the limestone soils and dry conditions of the Texas Hill Country and Trans-Pecos.
