A seedling of Celtis africana without any apical dominance at all. Doubt it will be hardy but quite the curio.

Chamaecyparis formosensis, a beautiful and graceful tree. Why not more widely grown?

An Araucaria araucana x A. angustifolia hybrid. Seems to be hardy and could become a really valuable landscape tree.

[Hortax @cptaxo]

A fantastic abutilon called 'Red Tiger'. Looks similar to A. darwinii but perhaps a hybrid of it?
