Caragana - Siberian Pea Tree 
Extremely hardy hedge plant that is ideal for the North and West, 
withstanding with apparent ease the droughts and hot dry winds that 
are often prevalent in Montana and the Dakotas. Naturally it will grow 
to a height of 10'15 feet, and makes a splendid screen or background, 
while with annual pruning it can be kept trimmed back to a medium 
low hedge. Numerous, twiggy branches are set off by showy lenticels 
and fine, light green leaves. Late in the spring the plant is covered 
with small, bright yellow blossoms. Plant 12 or 18 inches apart in the 
hedge row.
