Grow a tough and beautiful native tree with Pithecellobium flexicaule, commonly known as Texas Ebony. This slow-growing evergreen tree is native to South Texas and northern Mexico and is prized for its dense dark green foliage, twisting trunk, and exceptional heat and drought tolerance. It is one of the most durable landscape trees for hot, arid, and semi-arid regions.
Texas Ebony is widely used for shade, windbreaks, privacy screens, and wildlife habitat. In spring, it produces small creamy-white flowers that attract bees and pollinators, followed by distinctive curved seed pods. Once established, this tree requires very little water and thrives in xeriscape and low-maintenance landscapes. It can also be grown as a large shrub or pruned tree form.
