The Sissoo tree is an extremely drought tolerant, fast growing evergreen with gentle fluttering leaves that has been thriving in drought-ridden climates for decades. Noted for their bright green, aspen-like foliage, slightly twisted trunk, and branching pattern, the Sissoo is perfectly at home in Western landscapes as large shade providers.

With its classic-style leafy shade tree appearance, these low water using trees have become increasingly popular and are appearing more and more in virtually every style of landscape for their ability to provide cooling shade around homes with very low amounts of water.
