The deep pink flowers are produced on year-old or older growth, including the trunk, in spring. This flower shape is typical of the pea family. The leaves appear shortly after the first flowers emerge. The tree produces long flat pods that hang vertically. The flowers are edible and reportedly have a sweet-acid taste.
