Gumbo limbo grows fast for a shade tree and has a smooth, peeling copper-colored trunk. It is a Florida native and does well in our heat.
It is among the best at taking salt spray and storm wind, and it is also easy to root, so it adapts to a new site quickly.
It is cold-tender, so plant it in a spot with some shelter.
