Small tree to 20'. Pendulous branches with large clusters of white flowers year round. Bright orange fruit. Tough Keys/island tree.

 
Black Calabash (Amphitecna latifolia)

 
Large, rich, green leaves and cascading growth habit, make this salt and wind tolerant native a great barrier hedge or interesting character tree. It will also tolerate dark shade  as a middle canopy, under story tree. Its rich foliage belies its tough, costal tolerance.

Black Ironwood (Krugiodendron ferreum)

9' B&B

A classic native hardwood dense glossy green foliage. Salt and wind tolerant. Compact growth habit.

Blolly (Guapira discolor)

12' B & B

A small tree to 25'. A dense head of variable leathery leaves. A smooth gray trunk and bright pink fruit makes this a great small tree for tough areas. High salt and wind tolerance.

Coppice Joewood (Jacquinia arborea)
Bracelet Wood

 Super salt and wind tolerant, small character tree. Fragrant white flowers and attractive red berries. Grows to 15 ft. a native of the Caribbean islands.


 

Jamaica Caper (Capparis cynophallophora)

Mexican Calabash (Crescentia alata)

green cross shaped leaves.

Neclace Pod (Sophora tomentosa)  
4'-5' height x 6' spread
Yellow flowers year round. Very high salt tolerance and cold tolerant. Low mounding shrub.



Pitch Apple (Clusia gutifera)

 (Small leaf)

 A slightly smaller relative of our native Clusia. This tree is more compact, smaller leaved and a fantastic hedge to 15 ft. High salt and wind tolerant.
 

Short Leaf Fig (Ficus citrifolia)

12' - 14' B & B
Also called the well behaved fig due to its lack of invasive surface roots.  Grows naturally in keys hammocks where it behaves more like a Gumbo Limbo.  Some specimens will produce aerial roots and can become a miniature banyan type tree hence the name "Wild Banyan".




Strangler Fig (Ficus aurea)

 Perhaps the largest of our native canopy trees. An oasis for wildlife and the foundation for any large scale ecosystem development. This is one tough customer for use where a vast, massive canopy is desired and the foundation of any large scale ecosystem development. Banyan-like aerial roots add to its artistic value over time.

Willow Bustic (Dipholis salicifolia)

10' - 12' B & B
Generally grows in a compact conical shape with striking willowy texture. This is a very tough tree
for less than the ideal growing conditions.  Achieves a height of 25' - 30'.
