Texas Mountain Laurel, Sophora secundiflora, is a wonderful shrub that can be trained as a tree. Texas Mountain Laurel is a very slow grower but worth the wait. Grows to 25' in height with a spread of 15' - 20'. Texas Mountain Laurel is evergreen, can take full sun to partial shade. This shrub has small shiny dark green leaves. Then in mid-winter to early spring it blooms. These luscious purple blooms remind me of a bunch of grapes the way they hang down. Then to top it off they have a lovely scent. Just beautiful. This is a great time to plant.
