Leucadendron argenteum

Striking Silver-Grey Foliage

The Silver Tree features lanceolate leaves with a dense covering of silky hairs, giving them a unique silver sheen. This distinctive foliage adds year-round interest and contrasts beautifully with darker green plants.

Unique Flowering

Flowering occurs in spring, with male trees producing bright yellow inflorescences that are both showy and fragrant. Female flowers are subtler and often concealed within the leaves. The plant is dioecious, requiring both male and female specimens for seed production.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Leucadendron argenteum prefers well-drained soil and full sun. It is best planted in a sheltered spot with some frost protection during establishment. Once established, it is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant.

Size and Growth Habit

This tree typically grows to 8 metres tall and 5 metres wide, with an upright habit. Its size and structure make it suitable for large gardens or as a specimen tree in open spaces.
