Western Redbud?

This is an Ironwood, a tree indeginious to the Sonoran Desert. About May 1 they bloom with pink to light lavender sweet pea shaped flowers. The wood is extremely dense and sadly is harvested for carvings sold in gift shops.

The Ironwood is often called the 'nurse tree of the desert' because so many species of plants and animals find refuge under its canopy and in its branches.

It makes a great tree for urban landscapes and is a moderate grower there.

I agree, ironwood. And yes, really nice native low water using tree with beautiful bloom. Nitrifier too.

Such a beautiful tree! I need to add one to my yard. I hope it attracts more hummingbirds!

Yup, definitely an ironwood, the queen of the desert trees. They're really fun plants and look great virtually all year. I buy them in bloom since they vary by individual, but even the ugliest ironwood blooms are pretty nice. They grow fairly fast when young and watered. Love them. Be prepared--their branches are very thorny! Let us know if you get one, and from where, and how it does for you. Happy gardening!
