Western Soapberry (Sapindus drummondii)

from $8.00

This small to medium sized tree is very tolerant of drought and poor soil conditions. Thrives in dry soils in full sun and is good for challenging sites.

  • Height: 20-40 ft

  • Sun: full to part sun

  • Soil moisture: medium to dry

  • Ecology: Fruit edible to birds (We’ve seen Northern Flickers gobble these up!)

  • Other notes: Bare root trees are sold after first year of growth during the winter dormancy period (Nov-March). Highly ornamental fruits that can be used as a natural soap.

  • Local ecotype
