About This Plant
The Texas Ebony (Pithecellobium flexicaule) is an evergreen tree native to South Texas and northern Mexico. It features dense, glossy dark-green foliage, strong branching, and exceptional heat tolerance. It thrives in hot, dry climates and poor soils, making it well-suited for xeriscapes, windbreaks, shade plantings, and urban landscapes. In spring, it produces small creamy-white flowers and twisted seed pods that add ornamental interest. It is a slow-growing, long-lived tree that provides year-round structure and shade.
