Gum Bumelia

Sideroxylon lanuginosum

Gum Bumelia is a tough, adaptable native tree with a rugged, thorny character that belies the delicate clusters of tiny, intensely fragrant white flowers it produces in late spring. Its dark, glossy leaves and small, black fruits, eagerly consumed by birds and other wildlife, provide multi-season visual and ecological value. Well-adapted to a wide range of soils and conditions across Texas and the Southeast, it develops a distinctive, gnarled form with age that adds authentic native character to hedgerows, windbreaks, and naturalistic plantings.
