Caragana arborescens Siberian Pea Shrub

An extremely durable large shrub or small tree hailing from eastern Russia and adjacent portions of China. The large plants assume a multi-branched framework of olive brown stems dressed with finely textured, fresh green, pinnately compound leaves. Familiar, pea-like, cheery-yellow flowers bloom in mid-spring and are followed by 2-3” bean shaped pods in late summer. Plants are wonderfully tolerant of harsh sites with no serious pest and insect issues. An excellent option for the urban environment, coastal gardens or for screening in high exposure locals.
