Orange ball tree reaches a mature height of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters), with a tendency to grow even taller in certain conditions. It has a somewhat open and gaunt structure that densifies over time. The plant is easily recognized by its vibrant orange, globular flowers, which blossom on wood produced in the previous growing season. Its foliage provides a lush background to the eye-catching blooms. As orange ball tree matures, it develops a robust, woody base and exhibits drought resistance. The nectar-rich blooms are known to attract butterflies, and the plant generally remains unscathed by deer.
