Arbutus zalapensis var. texana
From our own seed grown specimen at Illahe, this exceptional specimen tree has been hardy down to 12 degrees. Great form for the rock garden, beautiful peeling bark, evergreen foliage, and fragrant flowers followed by showy berries. Exceptionally drought tolerant.
This is the stunning little tree that everyone comments on when they visit the rock garden at illahe, I love madrones and while our native is a fantastic one, the texas madrone definitely gives it a run for it’s money.
