This is a tall shrub or small tree around 20 feet tall that can have a trunk diameter up to eight inches but usually only a couple of inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The compound leaves with small leaflets give the plant a feathery appearance that helps break the monotony of the oval leaves found on most plants. It has male and female flowers on separate plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These flowers occur on three inch long narrow catkins that mature into half inch samaras, or winged seeds, only on the female plants. The mass of seeds looks like a fluffy tail and is light red near maturity. The Dina Yellow butterfly lays its eggs on this plant, but don&#8217;t expect any if you live outside the plant&#8217;s natural range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mexican Alvaradoa is a very drought tolerant plant, although it is not tolerant of salt air or water. I like to use it to frame a window and near paved areas because the small leaves that occasionally drop won&#8217;t cause a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can tolerate partial shade but is best in full sun. Use it along the southern edge of a hammock or mixed into a pineland planting. To see mature plants, travel to Camp Owaissa Bauer in Dade County and explore the natural portion and areas along Bauer road near the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The False Indigo is very similar in appearance and can be used with Mexican Alvaradoa. Its flowers are in bright purple catkins. Just mix these two plants into a portion of the landscape where you want to open and lighten things up a bit. A mass looks nice or just place a few plants here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.regionalconservation.org\/beta\/nfyn\/plantdetail.asp?tx=Alvaamor\">Click for more info<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexican Alvaradoa Alvaradoa amorphoides Besides growing in Mexico, Mexican Alvaradoa also grows in some areas of the Miami Rock Ridge from Long Pine Key to west of Goulds.
