Look for this large thicket-forming tree near intermittent waterways. Soapberry froms clusters of yellowish/white flowers in early Summer, followed by golden berries that eventually turn black. Fall color is a striking golden yellow. The plant is extremely drought-tolerant and is virtually indestructible.

Early pioneers used the berries, which contain saponin, as a soap/cleaning agent.

Soapberry is deer resistant.
