silver trees

Shimmering pale trunks

Silver trees are trees with pale, silvery foliage or bark, often from a waxy coating or fine hairs that reflect light.

Several species bear the name: the South African silver tree (*Leucadendron argenteum*), a striking protea with luminous leaves, and various silver maples, birches, and poplars prized for their shimmering appearance in landscapes.

The silver trees caught the afternoon light beautifully.
