Smoketree is a small accent tree grown for its whimsical cloudlike misty spring blooms and its year-round dark purple color. It is not native to New Mexico but does well in just about any soil. Locate in full sun and cover with 3-4 inches of shredded wood chip mulch. Water to a depth of 24 inches twice a month once established when hot and monthly throughout the year. This tree is great for patios and looks nice when planted with grey green plants like artemisia or sages.
