Sophora secundiflora Silver Sierra
Texas Mountain Laurel is a small thornless evergreen tree. A good choice for patio areas, it is very clean and grows slowly to 15 feet tall and wide. Silver Sierra™ is a silver-leafed form of the species. It is similar in all respects with the exception that it has bright silver foliage instead of green. The dark purple wisteria-like blossoms look stunning against the silver foliage. The flowers also smell like grape bubble-gum. The seeds are toxic, but are encased in a nearly impenetrable hard pod, so any danger is minimal.

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.
