Why Contractors Come to Gulfroot
Buttonwood — both green and silver forms — is one of the few species reliable in direct salt spray environments. Contractors working on beachfront and bay-front projects specify it heavily. Local retail stock is perpetually thin relative to demand. We source from Homestead growers who prioritize coastal natives.
SWFL Field Performance
Florida native. Zone 10–11. Full sun. Among the highest salt tolerance of any SWFL woody plant — established trees survive direct salt spray and flooding. Drought-tolerant. Silver buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus var. sericeus) has additional design value for its silvery leaf color. Babcock Ranch approved.
Direct from Homestead — not through a distributor.
