Yaupon
A small evergreen reaching between 15 and 20 feet high when mature, the Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria) is a holly tree that is commonly found in the southeastern United States. This tree has smooth, gray bark and oval-shaped leaves with white flowers appearing in the spring. During fall and winter, the tree produces red berries.
Southern Waxmyrtle
The wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), also known as the southern waxmyrtle, grows to about 15 to 20 feet upon maturity. This evergreen grows quickly and is common in wetlands, marshes or areas near streams and other bodies of water, though it is suited to a wide range of habitats. It flowers in late winter or early spring, with female plants developing globular fruit with a wax-like coating. This plant requires regular pruning, though it will withstand damage done by poor pruning.
Japanese Black Pine
The Japanese black pine (pinus thunbergii) grows to a mature height of between 20 and 25 feet. This pyramidal plant can be found in coastline plantings, wind breaks and used as landscaping accents. It has dark green needles with prominent silver-colored buds. These trees tolerate salty conditions very well and grow between 3 and 4 feet a year.
