Bourreria succulenta
Bahama Strongbark is a weeping evergreen tree native to South Florida and the Florida Keys that grows 15-25 feet tall with gracefully drooping branches. This member of the borage family features smooth, leathery leaves and produces clusters of fragrant white flowers year-round that attract a diverse array of pollinators including bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and hummingbird moths. Following the blooms, it develops showy bright orange berries that are highly attractive to birds and other wildlife. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, dry soils with good salt tolerance, it naturally occurs in rockland hammocks and can serve as an excellent specimen tree or screening plant in zones 10-11.
