The arroyo sweetwood has been a good tree, grows fast and has a lovely branching habit. The wood is soft though and this past winter some critters got up in it causing some branches to bend almost to the ground and split. Fortunately it has rebounded and hopefully will regain its former beauty😊.<br />I live in Austin and the Natural Gardener has a lovely mature specimen of this tree. <br />Thank you for visiting. Best wishes with your garden.<br />RobinRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067788570516873607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697790458883206745.post-61967494430745780202013-03-16T07:56:32.385-05:002013-03-16T07:56:32.385-05:00Was hoping to see some pictures of the Sweet Arroy...Was hoping to see some pictures of the Sweet Arroywood because I live in Central Texas and got 3 at a Master Gardener plant sale. How great is that! And I'm trilled to see yours growing too. I hope to plant several herbs, but they may have to wait till the renovation work is done. Where in Texas are you? Your garden looks terrific. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC!<br /><br />CrystalCrystal Ivynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697790458883206745.post-76347291234310117512010-12-06T11:36:24.717-06:002010-12-06T11:36:24.717-06:00I love the senna.

A little rosewater helps bring the flavor forward even more. <br />Thank you for stopping by, Katherine and I hope you'll visit again soon.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067788570516873607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697790458883206745.post-76903662263480936542010-04-07T10:30:29.680-05:002010-04-07T10:30:29.680-05:00Wow the opening picture to your blog is unreal … y...Wow the opening picture to your blog is unreal … your garden looks like it is off to a good start.
