Chilopsis linearis' Bubba'
The Desert Willow is a remarkable tree that requires minimal care and adds year-round beauty to southwestern landscapes. It has an appealing architectural silhouette in winter, even when bare. Its profusion of fragrant, orchid-like flowers throughout the year attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
Named 'Bubba,' this cultivar is known for its strength and resilience. It can withstand high heat, drought, and cold, and its roots spread quickly. The tree's broad, green leaves give it a fuller appearance than other desert willow cultivars. Despite its long blooming season, 'Bubba' produces fewer seed pods than other varieties.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
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.
