Chinese fringe tree   Wow! Maybe we so have some plants in common. I’ve seen them here.

Mimosas are pretty, but they do make a mess.  I  did see a chocolate variety once though.  Going to look that up.

i also just found a Chinese fringe tree that sounds pretty good.

Apparently desert willows don't like clay.  My front might still be ok, since it is a raise bed (walled off the slope of the lawn toward the street).  Hmmmm

Did you like the look of the ash? How about a mimosa? Similar leaves and open look. I don't know it's water needs

Thanks Barb.  I do have a pistache tree in my backyard and it is very nice, but want something different out front

>> Hi all!  Looking for idea to replace the ash tree in my front yard (it’s roots are threatening my foundation).  The arborist I had come out was completely useless- he just said to plant a Chinese pistache with no other ideas.   The tree would get full south and west sun exposure.    I was looking at Desert Willow and also Palo Verde trees as possibilities. Hoping some other ideas can be shared.   Thx
