Only as an ornamental. It is very popular in botanical gardens because they are so strange looking with all the sausages hanging in mid air. I put sausage tree in same league with cannonball tree, also very strange looking and wonderful to look at, but strictly ornamental.

Too bad , the flower is very nice and when loaded with pods it is a nice conversation tree . Chainsaw it will be .
