Old fronds can be extremely heavy and are known to damage buildings when they fall (Haele and Brookwell 1999), so save the palm by not planting it overly close to a building. Specimen plant or street tree.

While naturally a wetland plant, this species does well across a broad array of cultural conditions. Specimen tree.

Listed as endangered in Florida. Please retain in the natural landscape and acquire in an environmentally conscientious manner. Small specimen tree or shrub. Understory tree. Grow as a large shrub or small tree.

Noted for its shaggy, peeling salmon-colored bark. The natural form is a single-trunked tree, but multi-trunked cultivars are common. Southernmost birch in the US. Specimen plant located where the salmon-colored shaggy bark can be seen. Use for shoreline erosion control. Has been used for mine reclamation due to its tolerance of acidic soils.

This is a Florida endemic associated with dunes and scrub, both ancient and modern. Small specimen or border plant.

Many cultivars have been developed or found in the wild ranging from weeping forms to little round balls ('Shillings'). To get fruits, both a male and a female are required. Although there are issues with provenance, 'Shillings' is a male and can provide an inconspicuous source of pollen for larger females. The issue (with no scientifically vetted answer) is whether pollen from a natural dwarf could have any affect on wild populations of yaupon holly (the author suspects 'no' as being dwarf is unlikely to provide any selective advantage in the wild.
