Here is a big box Tex Ebony, it was 3X tall with a big bare section in the middle, wouldn't sell so I made em an offer. Last fall I sawed off the top and sawed off 2/3 of the bottom stuck it in a box and off she went. Time for some training now that it's happy.
Its looks good, are those compound leaves always that small? They look much better as the rain-tree leaves, or is a Tex Ebony another name for rain tree?
Cant say any more about the taxology, The Texas Ebony is a dry land, high heat, thorny rascal. I have seen photos of the "rain trees" and others that look very similar, others will surely help us out here.
TX Ebony, Pithecellobium flexicaule. its a legume. Leaves close at night. They stay tiny. Nice tree.
