I saw this at the South FL nursery: small tree or bush?
not marked, nobody to ask..was in a rush. it must be something very popular?
it had dark-red flower buds just starting, hard to see
it's not Caricature (have that), Cleyera is very similar, but different leaves: mine are corrugated and wider. and much larger overall : 4-6" i would say. with pinkish underside.
also they have patches of grey-green so tricolor if you look closely.
you nailed it! it's a Clerodendron.
i kinda googled for variegated clero, but saw nothing . and i've never seen a variegated one before. It's a beauty! they only have a 5-6' tree. if i had a garden, i would get it!
nope, it had flower buds clustered in the center of leaves very characteristically how cleros buds grow. also i saw some faded flowers that matched too.
C.quadriloculare are very popular in street landscaping in Miami: they don't run here, as the soil is not sand, but coral rock (karst).
Fairchild has sizable trees: 15' may be. Very pretty!
I love this variegation, but have no garden..yet. We are undecided where we want to retire.
I see no pic of C. japonicum in DB, perhaps you can add one?
