Eucryphia cordifolia

Ulmo

Commonly known as Ulmo, this is a handsome, evergreen tree renowned for both its attractive foliage and pleasant flowers. The sweetly fragrant flowers are white and are produced through summer. The foliage is silver-green with a leathery appearance. It can grow 20 m tall and 10 m wide but is often trimmed to sizes much less than this. 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.
