Notes
Bauhinia is a large shrub or medium-sized tree, 10'-18' tall by 15'-25' wide. Leaves are semi-evergreen, depending on winter temperatures. White flowers bloom from middle of summer until frost, usually October or November. This Mexican native tolerates temperatures reliably down to 20 degrees F, and possibly colder. It is more tolerant of salt than most other Bauhinias.
