Conocarpus

Conocarpus erectus, widely known as Buttonwood or simply Conocarpus, is a highly adaptable, fast-growing evergreen tree or shrub that is extensively used in urban landscaping, roadside plantations, and coastal green belts. Known for its dense foliage, salt tolerance, and air-purifying capabilities, Conocarpus is ideal for hedges, avenue planting, windbreaks, and garden borders.

Native to tropical and subtropical coastal regions, Conocarpus thrives in harsh conditions including saline soils, high temperatures, and drought. It grows quickly into a tall, bushy structure with thick green leaves, making it an excellent choice for privacy screens or urban beautification projects. With minimal maintenance requirements and resistance to pests and pollution, it’s a top choice for municipalities, landscapers, and eco-conscious gardeners.
