Vera Tree

Bulnesia is an excellent, low-growing tree for small yards, patios and other small-scale landscapes. It can be grown as a multi-stemmed clump or can be trained into a small tree with a single trunk up to 6 to 10 feet tall. The tree eventually grows about 20 to 30 feet tall and has an spreading, rounded, finely branched growth habit on several thick main branches which creates dense shade under the crown.

Trunks droop and spread as they grow older forming a canopy that is wider than tall.

 

Bulnesia can grow rapidly when it is young if it receives water and fertilizer, but it is well-suited for planting close to power lines since it slows down and remains small at maturity.
