Asian bayberry

Nageia nagi

Range: Japan, Taiwan, and Southeastern China

This East Asian conifer is rarely seen in South Florida, but it is an attractive evergreen that grows well in warm regions. Its broad leaves are not at all like the needles found on most conifers, giving the tree an unusual appearance. Its young leaves are edible, and its seeds are used as a source of oil. A valuable timber tree, the wood is used in construction and furniture making.

Baya asiatica

Nageia nagi

Distribución: Japón, Taiwán y sureste de China

Esta conífera del este de Asia rara vez se ve en el sur de la Florida, pero es una atractiva planta de hojas perennes que crece bien en regiones cálidas. Sus hojas anchas no se parecen en nada a las agujas que se encuentran en la mayoría de las coníferas, lo que le da al árbol una apariencia inusual. Sus hojas tiernas son comestibles y sus semillas se utilizan como fuente de aceite. Es un árbol maderable valioso, y su madera se utiliza en la construcción y fabricación de muebles.
