~ flowering trees Texas Ebony Bonsai Tree ~
new zealand tea rose. ~ Acacia/Mimosa family. ~ Native to Texas and Mexico and is ideal for dry, indoor locations. ~ The short branches are clothed in tiny dark green, bi-pinnate (compound) leaves and make a wide rounded canopy which casts a filtered shade below. ~ Leaves fold up at night or in subdued light. ~ Touching the leaves does not put it to sleep as with some Mimosa. ~ Short thorns are interspersed among the branches. ~ From June to August it is decorated with dense, plume-like spikes of very fragrant, light yellow to white blossoms at the end of its branches. ~ Dark brown woody seed capsules follow the blooms and persist on the tree for weeks. ~ In Mexico the seed pods are eaten and the shells roasted and used as a coffee substitute. ~ Great indoor bonsai tree. ~ flowering trees; new zealand tea rose; flowering pink serissa; brush cherry; bougainvillea; azalea; trees that flower; flowering bonsai trees; flowering trees;
