I'm pretty excited that our small anacua, or "sandpaper tree," is blooming this year. I can't wait until this tree is large and full of white blooms in the spring. Now, let's see if it sets fruit!
Anacua is the obligate host for the anacua tortoise beetle, Coptocycla texana. The wood is hard and strong and has traditionally been used for fence posts, tool handles, wheels, spokes and yokes.

I still remember that gigantic one in Jill Nokes's garden. Did you visit that one with us, Lee?

Wow, never seen a sandpaper tree before... Beautiful blooms indeed!
I wasn't at Jill Nokes's that time, but I think I may have tree-envied that tree from the street when biking by her place a few times...
