Sweet Bubba Seedless Desert Willow

Sweet Bubba Seedless is a fast-growing, upright desert willow selected for abundant deep pink to maroon flowers and little seed litter. The patent records the formal name ‘Sweet Bubba’ and warm-season flowering; the exact [Trees.com product profile](https://www.trees.com/products/sweet-bubba-seedless-desert-willow) uses ‘Sweet Bubba Seedless’ and the live botanical name, while the [patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP33091P3/en) documents seedlessness. ## Flowers and form The trumpet-shaped flowers are fragrant and typically appear from summer into fall, with the patent recording local bloom from May through October. The exact product profile lists a mature size of 15–25 feet tall by 10–20 feet wide; a western wholesale grower gives a narrower 15–20 by 10–15 feet. The live metric dimensions remain in place because both round to about 15 feet and fit the cited profiles. [Boething Treeland Farms](https://www.boethingtreeland.com/plants/chilopsis-sweet-bubba-seedless-pp33091/) describes the selection as sterile and highly drought resistant once established. ## Siting and water Plant in full sun for the strongest flowering. The open canopy suits a small shade tree, accent, or informal screen in warm, dry landscapes. Water regularly while the tree establishes; once established, it tolerates dry conditions, though occasional deep watering during prolonged drought supports flowering and canopy health. ## Maintenance Allow room for the upright crown and prune selectively after flowering or during dormancy to remove damaged or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning that would remove the next season’s flowering wood.
