Happy discovery!

April 19, 2021

In April, I posted a "Taking roll call" list of plants that hadn't yet come back after our rough February weather. Thankfully, we only lost a few. As for our Texas ebony (Ebenopsis ebano), I'd about given up on it. No green buds appeared on its thorny branches. But I kept thinking, It's got to have a good root system because it's several years old (we planted in April 2015).

Well, GUESS WHAT?!

Yes, YOU GUESSED IT!

Yesterday, I leaned over for a closer look and spotted GREEN SHOOTS coming up from the base! Our Texas ebony is ALIVE! After all this time! O Happy Day!
