This flowering evergreen tree produces creamy white, fragrant flowers in midspring and sporadically throughout the summer.

Bright red seeds mature in autumn on cone-like pods.

Large dark green leaves have a silver "lining" on the back side, making the leaves appear to "dance" in the breeze.

This flowering tree has an upright growth habit. It can be grown as single- or multi-trunk tree.

This Louisiana Super Plant is a wonderful accent tree. Use in foundation plantings, near patios or at the edge of woodland areas.
