Joe recommends Texas Mountain Laurels all the time to folks who want a beautiful heat and drought tolerant ornamental tree…in fact he has 3 of them in his own backyard!
These small trees (or large shrubs) are native to central Texas and should be planted in more landscapes due to their many attributes. We especially love the purple flowers that look almost like clusters of grapes…and speaking of grapes, those blooms smell like grape jelly or kool-aid!
