Ceanothus fendleri
Also called Fendler Buckbrush
Fendler's ceanothus is a thorny, low shrub of dry pine-forest slopes in the southwestern and central United States and northern Mexico, valued for its mass of white spring-summer flowers. It needs full sun, excellent drainage, and little water once established.
Ceanothus fendleri (Fendler['s] ceanothus, Fendler['s] buckbrush, deer brier) is a species of flowering shrub native to northern Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, west Texas and the northeastern Texas panhandle, Utah, Colorado, eastern Wyoming, and western South Dakota. Its typical habitat is pine forests from 1,500 to 3,000 meters (4,900 to 9,800 ft) in altitude.
