Discover the remarkable Caragana arborescens, known as Siberian Pea Tree or Siberian Peashrub—an enduringly resilient addition to challenging landscapes. This deciduous shrub, native to Eastern Russia and Northern China, thrives in USDA Zones 2 to 7 and reaches heights of 15 to 20 feet with a spread of 12 to 15 feet. Ideal for hedges, screens, or windbreaks, its adaptability is unmatched; it withstands droughts, strong winds, poor soils, and varying conditions with ease. Boasting bright green, pinnately compound leaves, it brings a touch of elegance with pea-like yellow flowers blooming in May.

While not prized for ornamental use, it serves vital ecological roles. Historically, its seeds were cherished by Siberian peasants as a staple for livestock during scarce times, while wildlife finds refuge and nourishment among its branches. Its robust nature makes it an excellent choice for agroforestry—offering nitrogen fixation, soil stabilization, and yielding fiber and dye. Unveil the understated charm and resilience of the Siberian Pea Tree, a perfect fit for areas demanding low maintenance and high durability.
