One of South Afica's rarest and most beautiful trees the Silver tree survives in the wild only on some slopes of Table Mountain.
An erect, well-proportioned fast growing ornamental plant with a stout trunk and thick, grey bark. The upright branches are covered with large lance-shaped leaves, up to 150 x 20 that are silver-grey, covered on both surfaces with thousands of tiny, soft, silvery hairs and fringed with long white hairs. The characteristic silver sheen of the leaves is caused by the hairs, the intensity of the sheen varies and are at their most silver in hot, dry weather.
The male bracts shine bright silver and the flower heads are bright yellow balls. The florets occur in rounded heads, 40 x 50 mm wide, the florets are silver to pinkish silver in bud and yellow and pink when open. Female flower heads are quite hard to find as the involucral leaves conceal the heads and don't shine quite as brightly.
