Black Sallee

The Black Sallee is a rugged, highly distinctive native tree growing 5 to 10 meters high, forming a short trunk that branches low into a gnarled, characterful frame. It is famous for its smooth bark that sheds to reveal a striking, vivid olive-green to copper-yellow color on the upper branches, contrasted by dark rough bark at the base. It is naturally adapted to high-altitude, cold, boggy frost hollows, making it a premier selection for clay soils that receive lots of water[cite: 23].
