Eysenhardtia texana
Texas Kidneywood! Texas Kidneywood is a plant that usually makes it presence known to you through your nose before your other senses are aware of it. I remember walking through an Austin park many years ago searching for the sweetly scented plant I could not see. I went from plant to plant, sniffing, when finally I found the one that was so wonderfully fragrant. I admit I was a bit underwhelmed when I saw it, because the light, airy texture of this plant does not make a heavy impact on the eyes. However, this airy, multi-trunked, deciduous shrub-to-small-tree mixes well with perennials or shrubs and is undemanding once established. It takes droughts in stride, defoliating when needed but flushing anew when sufficient rains return.
