Smaller Trees for Your Yard
It is always a challenge to find a small tree in Florida that doesn't grow to monstrous sizes. We thought we would offer you a choice of smaller growing trees that can be maintained at reasonable sizes.
Bougainvillea Trees - Fast growing, frequent blooming tree that is both salt and drought tolerant.
Torulosa Juniper - A cold hardy conifer that has a twisted structure. Great for a specimen or as a barrier.
Dwarf Poinciana - A multi-trunk large shrub that gets 12' with beautiful orange/red blooms on and off through out the year. Drought Tolerant
Cassia surratensis - A frequently blooming, yellow flowered tree that gets up to 15' tall.
Weeping Willow - A water loving tree that can get 25-30'. Weeping habit and thin branching structure make it great for ponds and other wet areas.
Bottlebrush - A cold hardy tree or bush that can get 15-20'. Blooms on and off through out the year with red pipe-cleaner like flowers. Drought tolerant
Hibiscus - Frequently blooming tree with a multitude of colors to choose from. Easy to trim to keep sized at a comfortable height.
Jathropa - Frequently blooming tree with red clusters of flowers that are butterfly attractive. Drought and salt tolerant. Easy to trim and keep sized at a comfortable height.
