Description: 60 FRESH SEEDS HARVESTED FOR THIS SEASON All of our seeds ship with tracking.There are three varieties of rebud native to Texas. The Mexican Redbud is possibly the prettiest, it is most certainly the most drought tolerant of the three….sailing through consecutive drought summers here at home of 100+ days of 100+temps and no rain--without damage. THIS TREE PICTURED WAS A 4” SEEDLING that had volunteered itself in a pot of daylilies 9 years ago. It has been pruned back to keep it out of the street and off the fire hydrant for the last 5 years. The Mexican Redbud is the daintier littlest sister of the Texas redbuds. It ranges throughout central Texas, growing wild to west of the Pecos River and south into Nuevo Leon in northeast Mexico. It loves hilly to mountainous areas, doing well in very poor, alkaline soils—but it thrives in a wide variety of soils, and is a great choice for small spaces, urban gardens, bonsais. HARDINESS ZONES—5 THRU 9MATURE HEIGHT—12 TO 20 FT.DIFFICULTY—VERY EASY ONCE ESTABLISHED…germination times can be variable, expect about 50% Mexican Redbud grows as a gracfully arching multi-trunked tree, bursting into vibrant rose purple color early in the spring before leaves emerge. Great as an accent tree, or kept pruned as a large shrub….It does very well in full sun, but makes a fabulous understory tree, tolerating a good deal of shade. I’ve seen them twine themselves beautifully through large oaks. Distinctive features that set it apart from the other girls, are its beautiful, shiny, green, green leaves that are very distinctly ruffled around the edges. The blossoms are followed by showy coppery/burgundy/rust colored seed pods that hang on throughout the summer. Autumn foliage is also exceptional in the Mexican Redbud, glistening gold, reminiscent of quaking aspen.
