Cottonwood

A sprawling shrub to small tree. If left to own devices it will sprawl, scramble and become a cluster of stems. However, this can be pruned heavily to have one trunk and formed into a tree. Would also be a good substitute for a hedge or screening plant. This shrub has large heart-shaped leaves and large yellow hibiscus flower. Tolerant of sand, wet areas and salt spray. Also a good stabiliser of soils.
