An evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub or small tree, depending on the species and climate, it develops a distinctive silhouette of dense, often contorted branches complemented by rich foliage and rugged character. Its exceptionally hard, reddish-brown heartwood lends the plant its evocative name, although it is not a true mahogany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eIn winter and spring, subtle white, cream, or yellow flowers emerge, followed by extraordinary feathery seed plumes with gracefully curled, tail-like forms that catch the sunlight and add delicate movement to the landscape. These distinctive seed heads provide ornamental interest long after flowering has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eNative to the western United States and northern Mexico, Mountain Mahogany is exceptionally well suited to naturalistic landscapes, mountain gardens, and water-wise designs. Its deep-rooted nature, nitrogen-fixing root associations, and adaptability to rocky, well-drained soils make it a valuable choice for challenging sites and erosion control. It also provides important food and shelter for native wildlife, including deer, elk, and bighorn sheep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eWith its rugged elegance and remarkable drought tolerance once established, Mountain Mahogany brings a sense of permanence and understated beauty to landscapes designed to thrive in harmony with their surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCercocarpus\u003c\/em\u003e species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub or small tree, depending on species and climate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Western United States and northern Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically 6–20 ft.; some varieties may reach 30 ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very low once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soils, including rocky and dry, clay-based soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLandscape Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native gardens, erosion control, wildlife habitat, naturalistic landscapes, and drought-tolerant plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA study in resilience and natural elegance\u003c\/strong\u003e, Mountain Mahogany offers distinctive form, remarkable adaptability, and lasting ecological value for the thoughtfully designed, water-wise garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"the PLNThouse Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67792798712023,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/7522\/2231\/files\/IMG_7138.png?v=1792170215","url":"https:\/\/www.theplnthouse.com\/products\/cercocarpus-betuloides-mountain-mahogany-1-gallon","provider":"the PLNThouse Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
