Southeastern Coralbean

Common bush in Florida. As the name implies, its native to the SE. It stays small. Most bushes I saw down in Florida were about 5' tall. These trees are not evergreen, (at least not in the north). They can thrive in Zones 6 & 7 down to zone 11. 
They have a tri-compound leaf. They have 3 leaflets. They are roughly hat shaped. Most of the leaves have a small spine at the tip that can prick. They have big, showy red flowers in the spring.
In the fall and winter, they have pods with bright red seeds. Don't consume them as I hear they are toxic.
