Conocarpus erectus, commonly known as Buttonwood, is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree native to Florida and the Caribbean. It features a picturesque, twisted trunk and a narrow, rounded crown with leathery, lanceolate leaves. Renowned for its extreme salt and wind tolerance, it thrives in coastal environments and urban settings alike. Its inconspicuous greenish flowers produce unique button-like fruits, making it an excellent choice for hedges, screens, or specimen plantings.
