had one in front of my childhood home. they look lovely, they smell lovely, they are hearty (spent many afternoons climbing it), we never really did anything to care for it (socal weather). they have circular seed pods that me and my sister would always call stingrays. when they matured enough, you could stomp on them and all the seeds would spill out. we had a swing on it and spent hours and hours swinging as high as we could go. its like a purple cherry blossom. god i miss that tree
