Deciduous - Sun The Texas Giant HABIT: Very large, simple, heart-shaped, large leaf – 5-12" long. Typically quite velvety to the touch. Green above and paler below. Large, showy, upright clusters of purple flowers late spring to early summer. Very fragrant fruit 1 to 1 ½ inches long filled with (1,000s) of small seeds that are initially sticky and green, later turning brown and dry. USES: Highly-prized lumber, shade tree, open spaces, specimen tree, to date, underutilized in the new home market. This tree provides great shade in just 3 years. FACTS: More recently, this tree has become a timber-crop plant and is being raised on plantations. This is one of the most valuable timber species in the United States despite the fact that the wood has not been widely used in this country. It is the preferred wood for oriental lacquer ware. Population pressure prevents it from being grown in its former range. It is an excellent export crop for the United States and will find new markets in the U.S. soon. Ohio is the northern limit of its adaptability. In Ohio, The Texas Giant winterkills easily unless cold-hardy seed sources are used. Even then the plant can be damaged in an unusually cold winter as happened in the Smokey Mountains a decade ago.
Leaves are simple, opposite and deciduous, occasionally whorled on vigorous sprouts, heart-shaped, and wooly hairy below.
Twigs are stout and gray-brown with notched leaf scars.  Find out how to get your own Texas Giant! |
