Bauhinia variegata ‘Alba’ (White Orchid Tree)

Bauhinia variegata ‘Alba’ is a graceful deciduous ornamental tree valued for its elegant sculptural form and striking white orchid-like flowers. It develops a rounded to oval canopy with a naturally open branching structure, often grown as a multi-stemmed feature tree for architectural impact in the landscape.

In early spring, before or as the new foliage emerges, it produces masses of fragrant pure white blooms that resemble orchids, creating a spectacular seasonal display. Its distinctive bilobed heart-shaped leaves add further ornamental interest, making it a standout specimen tree for warm and temperate gardens.
