Jabuticaba tree
Plinia cauliflora
The Jabuticaba tree is an iconic Brazilian fruit tree, native to the Atlantic Forest. Its most striking characteristic is cauliflory, where white flowers and dark purple, globose fruits grow directly on the trunk and branches. The pulp is white, succulent, and sweet. It has a slow growth rate, with bark that peels off periodically, revealing lighter tones underneath.
Jaboticaba
Plinia jaboticaba
Jaboticaba is a slow-growing, tropical evergreen fruit tree native to Brazil, belonging to the Myrtaceae family. It is renowned for its distinctive fruiting habit called cauliflory, where small white flowers and subsequent dark purple berries emerge directly from the trunk and older branches. The fruits are thick-skinned berries with sweet, white or rosy-pink gelatinous pulp inside, resembling grapes in flavor and texture. Dense and profusely branched, the tree develops a rounded crown and can live for decades. It is valued both as an ornamental specimen for its unique structure and as a productive fruit tree, with cultural significance dating back centuries in Brazil.
Stalked Jabuticaba
Plinia trunciflora
Stalked Jabuticaba (Plinia trunciflora) is a native Brazilian fruit tree from the Atlantic Forest, belonging to the Myrtaceae family. It is distinguished by its glossy black fruits hanging on long stalks (peduncles) directly from the trunk and branches β a phenomenon known as cauliflory. The fruits have a sweet flavor reminiscent of coffee. The tree can reach up to 15 meters in its natural habitat, with a globose canopy and pendant branches.
Kentucky bluegrass
Poa pratensis
Poa pratensis, commonly known as Kentucky bluegrass or smooth meadow-grass, is a perennial cool-season grass native to Europe, northern Asia, and the mountains of Algeria and Morocco. Widely naturalized across North America, it is one of the most popular turfgrasses in the world, prized for its fine texture, attractive blue-green color, and dense sod-forming ability through underground rhizomes. It thrives in cool, humid climates and is extensively used for lawns, athletic fields, golf courses, and pastures in USDA hardiness zones 3aβ7b.
Satin Bush
Podalyria sericea
A small, evergreen shrub reaching about 1 m in height and width, native to the sandstone and granite outcrops of Cape Town, South Africa (from Saldanha Bay to the Cape Peninsula). The leaves are covered in long, shiny hairs that give it a silky, silvery appearance. Between autumn and winter (May to August in the Southern Hemisphere), it produces small pink flowers with white centers, typical of legumes (Fabaceae), followed by inflated pods containing several seeds. It is classified as "Vulnerable" due to habitat loss, invasive alien plants, and frequent fires.
Milkwort

Golden Larch
Pseudolarix amabilis
The Golden Larch (Pseudolarix amabilis) is a deciduous conifer native to eastern China and the sole species in the genus Pseudolarix. Unlike most conifers, it sheds its needles every autumn, which turn a striking golden-yellow color before falling, giving the tree its name. It is slow-growing and can reach 9β18 m in height in cultivation, featuring soft, light-green needles arranged in tufts on short spurs. Instead of true flowers, it develops cones: smaller male pollen cones in spring and upright, ovoid female cones that mature to a reddish-brown color and disintegrate after the seeds ripen. It is highly valued as a specimen ornamental tree and as a bonsai for its seasonal beauty and unique appearance.
