CARROTWOOD

---

• A handsome evergreen tree that produces deep shade. The carrotwood boasts dark green leathery leaves and a rounded canopy. A good choice for urban settings in warm climates; hardy to 20 degrees.
   
• The carrotwood grows slowly and needs little training or pruning. It tolerates a wide range of soils, and will survive both alkaline and soggy conditions. Tolerates heat and drought.
   
• In maturity, some trees produce orange fruit, one of the tree's few drawbacks. The fruit is hard and inedible, and although it does not stain, it can be an annoyance.
   
• Grows to 40 feet high.
