Description
A small, handsome tree that works well in a small yard. Limb it up (otherwise known as selective pruning) to show off its multiple twisting trunks. Its twice-pinnately compound leaves give the tree a light, airy appearance; provide dappled shade; and allow enough light through to let grass grow.
