It is a beautiful tree when in flower but it has some qualities that make it undesirable for small properties. The branches are armed with short spines and the tree will produce root suckers over a large area. Planted in a large lawn, suckers can be controlled by mowing. It is well-suited for restoration of natural areas and for erosion control. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe flowers are important for hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and other pollinators\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.
