Also known as Eve's Necklace, Eve's Necklacepod, Texas Sophora, Pink Sophora, Necklace Tree
Eve's Necklace is a charming decorative tree that loves to grow on limestone soils found in the heart of the state, stretching from north-central Texas all the way through the Edwards Plateau. With its dark, shiny green leaves and a lovely rounded to upright oval crown, it's a sight to behold. In spring, the tree delights with clusters of rosy pink flowers that dangle like wisteria, and in late summer and fall, it adorns itself with fruit pods that resemble a stunning black string of beads, which is how it earned its name. Just a heads up, the seeds are known to be poisonous, so keep that in mind.
Eve's Necklace enjoys both sunshine and shade, often growing vine-like in dense woods. It is closely related to the elegant Texas Mountain Laurel (Sophora secundiflora) and shares a special kinship.
For the best results, plant Eve's Necklace in well-drained soil where it can bask in full sun to partial shade, and consider using it as an understory tree. Interestingly, trees that experience more sunlight tend to be shorter than those growing in shaded areas. Plus, if you want to enjoy a burst of beautiful flowers, full sun is the way to go!
This fabulous tree thrives in hardiness Zones 7 through 9 and even makes a lovely container plant in the right locations. Feel free to bring it indoors during colder months! If you notice its growth beginning to slow down, that’s your cue to repot it—it simply means the container is getting a bit snug for those eager roots to spread out happily.

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.
