    Caragana "Lorbergii" is a drought-tolerant upright growing small tree with an open vase-shaped crown. It has fine fern-like green foliage, with profuse yellow pea-like blooms in the spring. Graceful accent or specimen plant. After 4 years in my zone 3a garden the tree remains very small which I think is due to it's location in partial shade.
