Water
Water new plants regularly to establish them. Mature trees are moderately drought-tolerant but perform best with consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Avoid overwatering.
Also known as Texas Sophora
Eve's Necklacepod (Styphnolobium affine) is a deciduous tree native to Texas and Mexico, known for its attractive pea-like flowers and necklace-like seed pods.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water new plants regularly to establish them. Mature trees are moderately drought-tolerant but perform best with consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Avoid overwatering.
Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve structure. Light pruning can be done anytime, but major pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring after a period of cold stratification. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, though germination from seed is more common.
Not typically a plant that requires frequent repotting, as it is usually grown in the ground. Container-grown specimens should be repotted every 2-3 years into a slightly larger pot when root-bound.
