Ehretia anacua
The Anacua tree, affectionately known as the Sandpaper Tree or Knockaway, is a charming subtropical tree from the Borage family. This lovely ornamental tree is cherished in Texas and thrives beautifully in dry areas, reaching as far north as central Texas, although it might experience some dieback in the chill of winter. From spring through summer, the tree graces us with lovely clusters of white, fragrant flowers, and after that, it surprises us with bright, tasty orange fruits that ripen from April to June. While it does need a good amount of water to get started, it grows to be quite drought-tolerant over time.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
