Named for its voluminous, cloud-like white flower clusters, this variety is a standout for Willis homeowners looking for a medium-sized accent tree. It is highly resistant to powdery mildew and thrives in the intense summer heat of the Houston metro area. As it matures, it develops beautiful exfoliating bark, providing multi-season interest even in the winter.
Exposure
Full Sun (Required for maximum blooming)
Height x Width
15-20 feet tall x 10-15 feet wide
Water
Regular watering until well-established. Once mature, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant, though supplemental water during dry Texas summers keeps foliage lush.
Zones
6 - 9
Fertilization
Apply a general-purpose landscape fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins.
Pruning
Minimal pruning is needed. Remove "suckers" at the base and any crossing branches in late winter to maintain a clean, tree-like structure.
