Eve's Necklace ( Sophora affinis )
 

Howdy folks,
Anyone know of a large specimen of Eve's Necklace growing in Austin
Texas? I'm looking to add it to my photo library. I notice that it's
sold as a small tree but a couple of sources list it as growing to 30
feet.
If there is one around town thats been planted for wahile I'd like to
get a look at it.

This is normally a forest understory tree and if you find one 30' tall
then it is probably hidden in such a location. I ran into one 15
years ago growing on the north side of a lake west of Hwy 183 and just
north of Riviera Drive that was open grown. The trunk was possiibly
10" DBH and maybe only grew to 18' in height. It was shaped just like
a golf ball sitting on a tee. Nice tree. If it is still there it
would be a good example of an old open grown Eve's Neckless.

I have one that grew from seed I collected there so it is maybe 15
years old. But it is only 2" DBH and maybe in another 15 years it
might make a picture. But these trees are common along ravines in the
Hill Country.

Hey, Steve!

Let me check with my coworker tomorrow; he's pretty good on natives. If
he doesn't know of one, he might know somebody who does.

No bigger than they apparently get, don't you wish you knew where the
Aggies found this one:

Steve, just steal that photo. They don't get any bigger than that.

If you contact the Native Plant Society of Texas, Austin chapter,
, they probably know of one in the Travis,
Williamson county area.

Well, the best my source could come up with is a couple of small ones
that "used to be" behind Hargiss Hall, corner of MLK and Red River.
Don't even know if they're still there.

I have one in my back yard planted 10 to 12 years ago that is easily 20 fet
tall. If my husband would chain saw the hackberry next to it, the Eve's
necklace would show up a little better. E-mail me if you are interested. (It is
in Austin)
