Fasciation on desert willow (Chilopsis linearis)
Plant of the Day
Monday 24 July 2017
This summer flowering multi-stemmed tree or large shrub had me and my friend Debs wondering what it was? It looked like a Catalpa with longer leaves... fortunately Sally from the Department of Landscape, University of Sheffield, turned detective after seeing the pictures and discovered it was the remarkable bi-generic hybrid X Chitalpa tashkentensis (desert willow). This is an unlikely hybrid between a tree native to the Southeast United States Catalpa bignonioides and a shrub native to the deserts of western North America Chilopsis linearis. The original work for the cross was performed at the Uzbek Academy of Science in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in the 1960’s. It resulted in this small tree grown for its showy summer-long display of trumpet-shaped flowers. This plant needs sun and well-drained soil on the dry side. Great to discover a new plant and share with friends, this specimen was at Bluebells Nursery, Suffolk, UK.

Scenes From My Walk - Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis). It is known commonly as desert willow or desert-willow because of its willow-like leaves, but it is not a true willow – being instead a member of the catalpa family. It is a shrub or tree native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. It is commonly seen in washes and along riverbanks… …Chilopsis linearis is cultivated for its large, showy flowers, and tolerance of hot, dry climates. Although the natural growth is a very irregular shape, it can be readily pruned into a conventional tree shape. A number of cultivars have been selected. Some, such as 'Rio Salado', have dark purple or magenta flowers. Chilopsis may survive temperatures as low as 10 degrees F (-12 °C). Chilopsis is closely related to the genus Catalpa and hybrids can be made between the two genera. The nothogeneric hybrid between Chilopsis linearis and Catalpa bignonioides has been named Chitalpa tashkentensis. It originated in a botanic garden at Tashkent in Uzbekistan. Parts of the plant have been used in traditional medicine. It has been used to treat fungal infections such as candidiasis and athlete's foot, as well as wounds and cough. The wood was used to make bows and baskets.” - Wikipedia #ScenesFromMyWalk #DesertWillow #DesertWillowBlossoms #DesertWillowFlowers #NativePlant #ChilopsisLinearis #PinkBlossoms #FloweringShrub #FloweringTree #Naturalist #PhotoByJeriRae (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cew8QkQLSYU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
