Texas Whitebuds produce white, pea-like flowers that cover the tree in early spring.  The flowers are followed by heart-shaped glossy green foliage.  The tree has a rounded, upright form but is smaller than the Eastern or Oklahoma Redbud.

This tree is drought tolerant and can grow in sun to part shade.  It tolerates a wide variety of soils and works well as a small accent or understory tree.
