Description
Large shrub or medium-sized tree to 10'-18' tall by 15'-25' wide. Leaves are semi-evergreen, depending on winter temperatures. White flowers bloom from middle of summer until frost, usually October or November. This Mexican native can tolerate temperatures reliably down to 20f, and possibly colder. More tolerant of salt than most other Bauhinias.
