 | Cordia boissieri, Cordia superba Family: Boraginaceae Texas Olive, Anacahuita Origin: Texas Rio Grande area, northern Mexico   Small patio trees that flower are somewhat limited, particularly if you require that they tolerate arid conditions and lack thorns. The field drops to just a few species very quickly. A beautiful large shrub or small tree, it is adorned through much of the spring and summer with large clusters of showy white flowers. It is indigenous to the chaparral areas of extreme southern Texas and well into Mexico. Cordia boissieri is commonly found on streambanks and slopes with a definite preference for sandy, gravely, well drained soils. Requires ample water to become established, after which it is generally considered quite water efficient. Periodic, deep soakings through the hottest period of summer will aid in leaf retention and improved color. Single gray-green leaves, rough to the touch, up to 5 inches long (12.5 cm), 2 inches wide (5 cm), with lighter undersides. The genus is named for Euricius Cordus and his son Valerius, 16th century German physicians. Showy funnel-shaped, single white flowers with yellow centers, 1.5 to 2.5 inches in diameter (3.7-6.2 cm) in spring and occasionally in fall. Fleshy, but unedible, yellow-green roundish fruit, 1 inch long (2.5 cm) with one (to 4) large seed(s). The fruit is slightly toxic, causing dizziness when fresh, reported safe in jellies. See article about cordia. |  |

 | Cordia caffra Family: Boraginaceae Septee, Saucer-berry Origin: South Africa    The thin leaves are alternate, with a slightly toothed margin, shiny dark green above and paler green below. The scented, cream-white, bell-shaped flowers are borne in clusters at the end of the branches in spring/early summer. The fleshy fruits are deep orange drupes and look attractively appetizing to both humans and birds when ripe. They are edible, but not very tasty. The large calyx forms a saucer around the base of the fruit and may account for the common name. The tree occurs naturally in coastal and riverine forests and bush. Although this tree thrives in semishade, it can also be planted in full sun where it grows almost equally well. Although it is found growing in warm climates, this tree can tolerate mild frost. It is advisable to protect the stem of a newly planted tree against frost for the first few winters, or until the stem at ground level reaches at least 80mm in diameter. Parts of this tree are used medicinally to treat sore eyes, fever and wounds. See article about cordia. |  |
