Flowering Evergreen Trees
Daphniphyllum macropodum
Daphniphyllum macropodum is a truly impressive evergreen tree. The young growth in spring resembles masses of miniature Cycads and has red hues. Older foliage sits as a rosette with a downward arch and is dark green. The combination of old and new foliage produces quite a dramatic display and affords the tree a lush appearance. Clusters of small, cream flowers in spring result in purple berries in autumn. It typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of moderate frost once established. This evergreen is typically grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a courtyard garden, included in a tropical garden, or planted around outdoor living areas.

Best results with this tree are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It can be grown in coastal environments and is frost tolerant. Ulmo is commonly grown as a specimen, included in cottage and “white” gardens, used in avenue plantings, or included anywhere a beautiful tree is desired.
