Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Looking for tall narrow deciduous tree, 1 by passiflora_pink

Here is the Florida Anise. It is a pretty tree too; evergreen as opposed to deciduous. My books tell me that it needs rich loamy moist soil which would argue against its use next to a house (at least at my house!) Also, all parts are poisonous if ingested.

The pic shows the tree at its best. These blooms last a few weeks; at times mine is yellowish green rather than this pretty color. If I were in your situation I might choose the Anise in a rich moist area away from the house (which is what I have done). Just a thought.
