Sandpaper Tree – An aptly named Texas native tree with leaves that feel like, you guessed it, sandpaper. Standing at about 50 once fully mature, the Sandpaper Tree is an evergreen with attractive multiple branches and flaking bark. In early spring, delicate white flowers cover the canopy, providing a light fragrance. After the blooms fall away, they are replaced by small berries that range from yellow to orange, and are actually edible (although not very tasty). This extremely drought tolerant tree is natively found in south Texas, so it makes for a perfect addition to any xeric or dry garden. Plant it in full or part sun, and keep those roots dry after it is established.
