Think when the mimosa goes I’m gonna replace it with a wisteria standard, which’ll still have the thick cascading color effect (especially starting from a base behind a retaining wall feet above the sidewalk) but not climb enough to compete with the other canopies around

(A “standard” is something not naturally a “tree” grown shaped into a tree form. The “smoke tree” already out front is really a smoke bush standard. Wisterias are vines, training them to standard has them growing a “trunk” up a support pole and spreading from there.)
