(Silver Dollar Gumtree)
Its cool blue-green juvenile foliage and moderate size make this Southeast Australian native a popular choice for home landscapes. A medium-sized, upright, evergreen tree with somewhat ascending, often arching branches, it has round silvery leaves when young. More mature specimens bear oval gray-green leaves. Both types sometimes occur on the same tree, providing added visual interest. The aromatic, colorful foliage is popular in cut flower arrangements. Clusters of small white fuzzy flowers appear...

(Silverleaf Mountain Gum)
Grown for its fine silvery green foliage and exceptional drought tolerance, silverleaf mountain gum is a tall, weak-stemmed shrub or small tree with a coarse, interesting habit. Its rounded, juvenile foliage is especially pretty and valued for fresh and dried arrangements. This Australian native was brought to California as an ornamental shrub and has since become naturalized across the San Francisco Bay area where it pops up in coastal plant communities and disturbed urban areas.

(Ironbark, Pink Flowered Ironbark)
One of the few eucalypts grown for it showy flowers as well as for its handsome bark and evergreen foliage, this medium-sized to large tree is native to coastal and inland areas of eastern Australia. Variable in habit, it has deep red-brown bark whose hardness earns it the name "ironwood". Younger branches have smooth gray bark. The flowers – which are among the largest of the genus – bloom heavily over a long season from winter into spring. Borne in showy pendulous red-stemmed clusters, the shaggy,...

(Hardy Rubber Tree)
Amazingly tolerant of drought, urban conditions and alkaline soils, the pretty glossy dark green foliage of the hardy rubber tree casts welcome shade. An upright-branching deciduous tree from central China, it will eventually grow a canopy that is broadly domed.
The long, tapering oval leaves are attractively dark glossy green. When torn a weblike-netting of rubbery fibers is exuded from the leaf tissues. In early spring, before the leaves emerge, inconspicuous green flowers appear, male flowers...

(Brazilian Cherry, Pitanga, Surinam Cherry)
Fresh, new leaves emerge coppery while the fragrant white blossoms of the Surinam cherry soon develop into acidy, spicy, dark red fruits that look like tiny pumpkins. An evergreen tree often used as a hedge in tropical areas, it is native to northern South America. The abundant fruit production can result in birds scattering around fruits and creating a nuisance of new seedlings across the landscape.
The rich green, glossy leaves are oval-shaped with an acute point. When young, the leaves are...

(Ananbeam, Cat Tree, European Euonymus, Spindle Tree)
The rounded form of spindletree is lacklustre until autumn when its pink to red fruits split open to show the orange-covered white seeds and its glossy foliage changes to tones of yellow or red. A large shrub to small tree that is deciduous, spindle is native to much of Europe and also western Asia. With its broad adaptability to any well-draining soil and copious production of seeds, it is invasive in many temperate regions of the world, including the United States.
