Our "Tree" give away is actually a Fernbush - a moderate growth rate, 6-8 feet mature height, low water, moderate alkalinity tolerance, good cold hardiness, white flowers in mid-summer, no major pest problem and is good for windbreaks, wildlife plantings and erosion control.  It has fragrant fern-like leaves.  It remains evergreen in warm climates and becomes deciduous in colder climates.  It is very drought tolerant once established.  It is shade intolerant. The width is 5 feet.  (Chamaebatiaria millefolium)
