Desert Museum and Thornless Palo Verde Seeds
The Desert Museum palo verde, a thornless cultivar of Cercidium x 'Desert Museum', is a fast-growing deciduous tree with an upright canopy. It reaches about 20–30 ft in height and 20–25 ft in width. Its stems and branches are thornless and chartreuse-green, and it produces a dramatic display of lemon-yellow flowers each spring.
It is hardy in USDA Zones 8–11 and has become a top landscaping choice for fast growth, thornless form, vibrant bloom, and light shade. The tree can be pruned into a canopy for filtered shade and accent value in many settings. It grows best in well-draining soils with full sun and heat; summer watering should be deep and infrequent to avoid weak branching.

Let customers speak for us
Really nice soil and awesome service
Never used because I ordered the wrong Water Filter. Mike was very helpful with the return and refund. Excellent Customer Service.
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
