Mexican Buckeye, or Ungnadia speciosa, is a deciduous and densely branched tree native to southern New Mexico, Texas, and northern Mexico, where it is found growing on dry slopes and rocky canyons from 1,000-6,500 ft elevation. This tree has smooth, grayish brown bark and long, pinnately compound leaves with narrow leaflets that turn yellow in the fall. It produces fragrant, pink flowers from March-June, followed by distinct fruits that are 3-comparment capsules carrying the dark, shiny seeds. Known for its showy blossoms, this small tree is perfect as an accent plant in a yard or garden and can be pruned to a single-trunk shape or left as more of a large shrub. Plant full sun to part shade with low water-medium requirements.
