| Description: Texas Ebony is a very decorative tree, ranging in size from 15 feet to 40 feet tall and wide. Its dark, glossy green compound leaves are arranged along thorny branches with a distinctive zig-zag pattern. Creamy yellow, fragrant clusters of flowers are produced from May to October. Plant against hot walls or around pools or other areas where reflected heat is intense. Texas Ebony will maintain good foliage with little water.
Maintenance: Texas Ebony prefers well-drained sites in full or partial sun. This tree is extremely drought tolerant, but does best with a bi-monthly irrigation in the summer and monthly watering in winter. Prune a few side branches every summer, until the desired height is reached. |
