It is more common in Mexico. Its delicate, unusual leaves are divided into pairs of two oval leaflets, and showy white or pink flower clusters resembling orchids appear from March through May. In its native habitat in Texas it grows on rocky limestone canyons, and needs well-drained soils to thrive. Its unique foliage and showy flowers make it a beautiful specimen plant, or as a container plant for small areas. If grown in afternoon shade, it is an open graceful tree. If grown in full sun, it is bushier and fuller. It is small enough to be included in a large flowerbed. Orchid trees make a gorgeous display with its silvery-gray bark and white flowers that resemble orchids. It is a rapid-growing tree and does best when planted on the south side of a building, protected from winter winds. It can be nipped back by extremely cold winters.

Common Name: Arroyo Sweetwood Botanical name: Myrospermum sousanum Plant Type: Tree Light Requirement: Sun Water Requirement: Low Hardiness/Zone: 8a to 10b Heat/Drought Tolerance: Very Height: 10 to 20 ft Width/Spacing: 20 ft wide Flower Color: White Blooming Period: Mid spring Plant Form or Habit: Bush grown form Foliage Color and Texture: Deciduous Butterfly or bird attracter: Butterflies. Bees and birds Deer Resistant: Unknown Plant Use: Ornamental, small tree Pests and diseases: Unknown to science until 1982, this small tree with highly fragrant flowers makes a special addition to any yard in Austin. Discovered in Mexico by Texas botanist Lynn Lowrey, Arroyo Sweetwood prefers rocky limestone slopes like those of the gullies and stream banks (arroyos) where it was found. Grows quickly to form a deciduous, shrubby tree up to 20 feet tall, and as wide, and will bear numerous small white flowers in the spring. These flowers emit a very strong cinnamon / vanilla scent that will fill your yard. The wood is also very fragrant when cut, hence the 'sweetwood' part of the common name. Arroyo Sweetwood is native to soils which are very similar to ours, so feel free to put it in any area with dry, rocky, limestone-based soil. Should only require water for establishment, and full sun is fine. It will make a great shade tree to plant on the west side of your house. Its bushy growth form will shade the structure in the warmer months of the year and allow light into the windows once the leaves drop. A small deciduous tree to 15-20 feet. Fragrant, cream colored flowers. Attracts butterflies, bees, and birds. Likes alkaline soils and full sun. Also drought tolerant. Native to Mexico.
