Great idea for the center of your beautiful garden Paige. That's actually what I wanted.. I thought it would look good with some Cassia (Senna Alata), about 8 feet forward from it. ...Purple spires and yellow ones in the same line of vision.
I was happy to find this tree growing one at Green mamas a couple months ago.
You might think about how the shade will be cast from it as a shrub, and as a tree. Also think about how easy it will be to get around to tend other plants. That's why I wanted it to grow 'up' like a tree, and why I put it out and away from the other beds.

A tree one would be gorgeous in your front yard where you don't have trees yet. It wouldnt block the view of your front beds from the street.

Now I want another one.....LOL!
