Description

Ebenopsis ebano (Texas ebony) is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree native to southern Texas and eastern Mexico. It features very dark, glossy bi-pinnate foliage and twisting, thorny branches that give it a striking form. From late spring to fall, it produces fragrant, creamy-white flower spikes followed by persistent dark brown seed pods. The dense canopy provides excellent shade and wildlife value, and the wood is dense, rot‑resistant and historically used for woodworking and fence posts. It is drought-, heat- and frost-tolerant (down to around 10 °F), and its seeds have even served as a coffee substitute in Mexico.

Dense, dark evergreen foliage with bi‑pinnate leaves and twisting, thorn‑armed branches
Fragrant, creamy‑white flower clusters in summer, followed by long, durable seed pods that persist for months
Extremely drought‑ and heat‑tolerant once established, adaptable to various soils from loam to heavy clay
