| Description | Guaiacum is a very beautiful evergreen tree. Extremely slow grower so buy older plants. It took me > 5 years to see the flowers. Highly robust tree. Wood is hardest in the world. No fragrance, but when it flowers, the whole tree becomes white and blue. The bicolored flowers look very unique. |
