Silver leaves

Silver Tree; grows to 30 ft.tall;
Needs really good drainage.

Leucadendron argenteum (Silver tree) from Table Mountain, South Africa is one of the most beautiful of all trees in foliage. The closely adpressed hairs give the impression that the leaves are covered with silver fur and the plant gives a welcome splash of light on dull autumn days. The Silver Tree is short lived as it is susceptible both to low temperatures and wet conditions. So far this specimen has survived the cold 2000/01 winter as a young seedling without protection and also the milder 2001/02 winter. It has also stood up well to the current exceptionally wet October.
