Our plants of Eysenhardtia texana ‘Uvalde’ are perfuming the air with their sweet fragrance in October. As you can imagine, it’s abuzz with pollinators. This Texas/Mexico native, known as Texas kidneywood, makes a 10′ tall shrub that’s quite heat and drought tolerant. The common name comes from the fact that the genus Eysenhardtia has been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of Mexico and parts of Central America to treat urinary ailments. We’d killed this species once before due to our cold temperatures, but Patrick’s collection from Uvalde, Texas has proven to be rock hardy for us.
Any timeline of when it be available for sale? thanks
We don’t have it scheduled yet, but perhaps for 2025. Thanks for asking
I have one in Dallas that is 12 years old and thriving. Survived two very cold winters in a row. It’s about 12 feet tall now. We love it.
