Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rare endemic from the Big Bend region of Texas, forming a beautifully rounded, upright tree, to 20-30' tall, with gently lobed leaves of blue-green turning apricot tones only at the very end of autumn and shedding in early spring when new leaves emerge. Named for Howard Lacey who first collected it in Kerrsville, Texas. Perfect for the dryland garden... or giant limestone chasm planting. Prefers good drainage and little fertilizer. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. Full sun for best color.
