Description

The listing, Mountain Laurel has ended.

This one-of-a-kind Texas Native tree is a beautiful evergreen tree to 25 feet with lustrous green pinnate leaves and fragrant wisteria-like springtime flowers (hardy to zone 7). I live in zone 9-10 Lavender blooms have an unmistakable aroma of sweet grapes.

It is tough, extremely drought tolerant, disease free, and has outstanding ornamental qualities. Studies show that it requires less than ½ the amount of water than a Crepe Myrtle tree requires, making it an ideal xeriscape plant.

The seeds from TML trees were reportedly of great value to native American Indians in Texas. They were worn as ornamental jewelry, and reportedly a strand of TML seeds could be traded for a horse.

You left out that there's not a landscaper in Texas that won't plan his installation around TML if he can talk the homeowner into it- Beautiful, aromatic, drought and disease resistant xeriscape and just an overall winner! I wouldn't be at all surprised if the indians had some sort of medicinal or at least ceremonial use for them. I've always loved them! F&W&B

You are right and thx for the talk up. It is a very beautiful and aromatic tree. It was also used in ceremonies as a tea for its visual effects. I will friend as soon as I can but will watch what you need and hopefully bid. The folks in Texas are very friendly neighbors no matter how far of a neighbor they are.

it is in the live plant section it might be by accident

That is my fault. I am still new to the Listia thing. I thought it was in the seeds and bulbs section.

It IS in the seeds and bulbs section! Recon they Figu5re that a seed or bulb is a continuation or pseudeo-life product of a live plant and so a live plant themselves...
