Design with this plant

Overview

The Mayten Tree, Maytenus boaria, is an elegant evergreen, ideal for grace and texture in landscapes. With its fine weeping foliage, the Mayten grows to a height of 20-30 feet and spreads 15-20 feet wide. Adaptable to varied soils, it prefers full sun to light shade. Regular pruning maintains its shape, and it tolerates urban pollution. Its slender branches and small leaves create a soft, lacy canopy, offering light, dappled shade.
