Anacacho Orchid Tree is an excellent small tree for Central Texas. This is a great addition to landscapes that have Redbuds and Mountain Laurels, because the Anacachos begin blooming when the others are just finishing up. They continue blooming for a month or more in some cases. It's even tolerant of limestone soils! The unique foliage of this Texas Native Tree adds interest to any landscape even when it's not blooming.
