Mountain Laurel

Sophora secundiflora

Popular Texas native tree known for its extremely fragrant blue-purple flowers in the spring. Specimans normally grow to 30 feet tall and 20 feet wide; evergreen & responds very well to regular care. Roots are very shallow, and will require adequate drainage. The orange-red seeds have a very hard shell covering a very poisonous seed.

Interesting Notes

Orange to red seeds are thought to be extremely poisonous, but its actually the cotyledon (the white part inside the very tough shell) that's lethal.
