Clusia guttifera
Family: Clusiaceae / Guttiferae
Small Leaf Clusia, Dwarf Autograph Tree, Small Leaf Pitch Apple
Origin: South America
Large shrub 5-10 ft

Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

This clusia is really dwarf, and can be grown as a small dense shrub or potted specimen. It has impressive aerial roots hanging off the branches. It is a very cool plant for patios or around the pool decks.

It can tolerate shade too, as well as cooler temperatures.

Small leathery, pear shaped leaves on compact, rounded shrub, with small light pink flowers. The leaves have a special effect: you may write with a sharp stick on the surface, and the writing will stay forever. Thus the common name of this plant.
