Clusia

Clusia guttifera

If there's one plant that defines South Florida's residential and commercial landscape over the last decade, it's Clusia. Its thick, waxy leaves create a dense, impenetrable hedge that blocks noise, wind, and sight lines — and it does it with almost no care once it's in the ground. No whitefly issues, no constant trimming, no irrigation dependence after establishment. That's why landscape contractors keep coming back to it.

At Heritage Farms, Clusia is one of our highest-volume products. We stock it in a range of sizes to support everything from small residential hedges to large-scale commercial screening projects across Palm Beach County.
