Blue Palo Verde - Parkinsonia florida
Green of the Month
Palo Verde (Parkinsonia)
As we welcome 2026, we’re excited to feature our first Green of the Month and wish everyone a happy New Year with a true icon of the Arizona desert: the Palo Verde Tree. Named Arizona’s official state tree in 1954, the Palo Verde is a master of desert survival. Its vibrant green bark actually performs photosynthesis, allowing the tree to thrive even when it sheds its delicate leaves during dry periods. In spring, it bursts into bright yellow flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and birds, adding life and color to any landscape. Growing 20–40 feet tall with a broad, airy canopy, it provides shade, habitat, and a striking visual presence in both gardens and natural areas. Whether you’re planting one in your yard or spotting it on a desert hike, the Palo Verde is a living symbol of resilience, beauty, and the unique spirit of the Sonoran Desert.
