Tree Clover

Trifolium ciliolatum

Tree Clover / Tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) is a perennial evergreen shrub native to western US states (such as California) and has also been successfully introduced across North America as a non-invasive drought-hardy fodder plant that can thrive in USDA Zones 8–10. Reaching a mature height of 6–12 feet with a tall, upright, multi-stemmed branching growth habit, it features trifoliate grayish-green leaves and produces clusters of creamy-white pea-like flowers. It thrives in well-drained, sandy or gravelly soils in full sun and is ideal for dryland fodder production, nitrogen fixation, and windbreak shelterbelts.
