It is native to Central America and Mexico. It can grow up to 25 m (82 ft) tall. It can be grown as an ornamental plant.[2]A curiosity of this tree is that, according to Kuck and Tongg, the juvinile plants have palmate leaves while the mature trees have pinnate leaves.[3] An abundance of yellow flowers appears during the leafless season.
