The flowers are a source of nectar for bees.
Parkinsonia aculeata is a species of perennial flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae. Commonly known as palo verde, Mexican palo verde, Parkinsonia, Jerusalem thorn, jelly bean tree, palo de rayo, and retama, this plant is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico south to Galapagos Islands and northern Argentina. It has been introduced in Africa, Australia, India, Pakistan and Spain. It grows 2 to 8 m (6.6 to 26.2 ft) high, with a maximum height of 10 metres (33 ft). It has alternate and pennate (15 to 20 cm long) leaves, and the branches grow double or triple sharp spines 7–12 mm (0.28–0.47 in) long at the axils of the leaves. The flowers are yellow- orange and fragrant, 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter, and the fruit is a seedpod, leathery in appearance, light brown when mature. P. aculeata is a major invasive species in Australia, and is a major problem in parts of tropical Africa, Hawaii, and other Islands in the Pacific Ocean
