Notes: Silver Buttonwood is a Florida native that is an ideal plant for those living in a high salt zone as it is highly tolerant of full sun, sandy soil and salty conditions. It can be used as a single specimen, trimmed as a hedge or allowed to grow into a small tree by trimming off the lower foliage as it grows. They have a moderate growth rate and will produce an insignificant white flower that will produce a reddish/brown fruit later in the year.
