Texas Kidneywood
Honeybees visit Texas kidneywood primarily for its abundant nectar, which supports a steady honey flow due to intermittent blooming flushes from April to October, with peaks after rains in late summer. It provides moderate pollen rewards alongside the nectar-rich white flower spikes. This drought-tolerant shrub requires no special management but may drop leaves during extreme dry spells.
