A native of Catalina Island off the coast of California, the Catalina Ironwood is a very unique and fast growing drought tolerant tree. Grows quickly when young and can eventually reach 50′ tall. The fern-like foliage is evergreen and adds a fine texture to the garden and the white clusters of flowers attract many different pollinators, but where the Catalina Ironwood really shines is its flaking peeling bark, which is distinctively a rough, grayish-brown that becomes more textured with age. It first caught our eye at Hoyt Arboretum and we’ve been in love ever since.
