About Necklace Pod
Sophora tomentosa, commonly known as necklacepod, yellow necklacepod, and occasionally referred to as silver bush, is a pantropical shrub or small tree in the Fabaceae family. It typically grows 4 to 10 feet tall and is often found in coastal conditions and near wetlands. The name Necklacepod is derived from the characteristic string of seed pods that develop after its yellow flowers germinate into seeds. Necklacepod is a nectar plant for bees, butterflies, and in parts of the Americas hummingbirds as well.
