Botanical name: Bauhinia acuminata Family: Caesalpiniaceae (Gulmohar family)
The dwarf white bauhinia is native to Asia.
This is a perfect little tree for places where you don't want
anything wild to take over. It will grow no more than two or three meters, and
won't take up much space or get in anyone's way. It really is quite
inoffensive. Beautiful white flowers cover this tree in spring and fill the air
with a sweet clean fragrance. The white flowers
look like snowflakes hanging on the branches. Sometimes it is called
Snowy Orchid Tree.
The leaves are shaped a little like a cow's hoof.
