This evergreen tree has jagged margins on the leaves that make an attractive plant let alone the 2” white flowers in late July – August. A wonderful tree from Vancouver, BC. to San Francisco.

Eucryphia - nymansensis 'Nymansay' This has long been grown here in the NW but still not seen enough. Narrow evergreen (except in coldest winters) perfect for between houses or against a tall wall. Summer bloom with 2" quite beautiful white scented flowers. What's not to like? Occasional summer water.

Probably the best-known of the Eucryphias, this could perhaps be called the queen of all flowering evergreen trees. From late summer to early fall, at a time when few flowering trees are doing their thing, this tree is covered completely in large, anemone-like, white flowers. The dark green, compound leaves are unique in shape and make the plant quite interesting even out of bloom. I often see this sold as a “shrub” in nurseries, but in fact it is a vigorous plant that can easily reach tree size in the Northwest in a sheltered spot and with a generous supply of moisture. One specimen in Bremerton is 60' tall and wide with numerous smooth trunks: give it some space! Can be grown in an open woodland, but might bloom better in full sun if moisture is adequate. Hardy to 10 °F.
