Silver leaf tree (Leucadendron argenteum)

Silver leaf tree is a cone-shaped tree that is noted for its light-reflecting hairy, silver-colored leaves. If pollinated, it produces silver cones. Silver leaf tree is now a popular container plant for courtyards; it was used as firewood in the 1600s and 1700s but is now a protected species. It has a pleasant scent that attracts beetle pollinators.
