Green Buttonwood is a Florida native shrub or small tree with glossy green leaves and a naturally elegant shape. Often used in coastal and wetland areas, it’s highly salt-tolerant, wind-resistant, and thrives in tough environments — from full sun to occasional flooding.
It grows upright with a strong trunk and can be trimmed as a dense hedge or grown into a tree form reaching up to 20–30 feet. Its small cone-shaped fruits give it its “button” name and add character to its appearance.
