Palo Verde trees are in full bloom — and while they might leave a golden trail behind, they’re more than just desert confetti. Here’s why we love them: • Native to Arizona, they thrive with little water — perfect for desert landscaping • Their bright yellow blooms support local pollinators like bees • They provide much-needed shade in our hot spring and summer months • Their beauty brings the desert to life each year | City of Peoria, Arizona Government
