Amorpha fruticosa 'Pendula'

Amorpha fruticosa 'Pendula', or Weeping Desert False Indigo, was a weeping shrub and a cultivar of Amorpha fruticosa, the Desert False Indigo. It was first described in 1868 by Élie-Abel Carrière from France.[1] No trees are known to survive of this cultivar. Apart from the clone found in France it also seems to have been reported from the wild in Florida.
