Description
If this plant dies in the winters of College Station, (Teague is about 90 miles due north College Station and 100 miles south of Dallas) it’s a wonder that this plant is flourishing in Teague, Texas.
'Candlestick tree' (Cassia alata), also known as 'Empress candle plant' or even 'Candle bush' in other parts of the United States, is an old-fashioned, easily grown plant for the back of the border. It grows from 6 feet to as tall as 15 feet in height, and in the fall is covered with beautiful golden spikes of bloom. In the warmer parts of Texas such as the Gulf Coast area the Candlestick tree will last for several years, but should be trimmed back after flowering to maintain compactness. They rarely survive the winter in the College Station area, but may prove root hardy under mild freezes unless the cold lasts longer than a day or two.
