COMMON CARAGANA (TREE) – MULTI‑STEM  Caragana arborescens
• A tough, fast‑growing multi‑stem small tree widely used across the prairies for its exceptional hardiness, adaptability, and reliability in challenging sites.
• Features clusters of upright to arching stems that form a loose, vase‑shaped clump, creating a durable structural element in shelterbelts, acreage plantings, and low‑maintenance landscapes.
• Produces abundant, clearly visible yellow pea‑like flowers in late spring, offering modest ornamental value and reliable seasonal bloom.
• Bright green, fine‑textured compound leaves give the plant a soft, airy appearance through summer, turning clear yellow in fall.
• Slender pods follow the flowers and drop cleanly; neither flowers nor pods are considered messy in typical landscape settings.
• Extremely tolerant of drought, wind, cold, poor soils, and urban conditions; thrives where many other trees struggle, including alkaline and compacted sites.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 4–6 m Height × 3–5 m Width
