The yerba mate tree, Llex paraguariensis, is one of the more fascinating plants you can grow in your garden. This attractive evergreen is grown in many parts of the world for its leaves, which contain caffeine and make a mildly stimulating drink. The drink, also called mate, has more vitamins and minerals than tea and is a good source of minerals such as potassium, iron, and manganese. It has antioxidants, as well, making it a powerhouse of good health. The leaves are leathery and glossy dark green, and, in late fall, the tree produces small white flowers that morph into red berries in spring. Although it is a subtropical plant, the yerba mate tree grows well in a container for those who live in colder climates — making it accessible to just about all gardeners in the continental U.S. If you'd like to consider this unusual tree, here are a few more reasons to help you decide: Mate can be served hot or cold, and it has a flavor that is similar to green tea. The yerba mate is a low-maintenance tree with few demands. This evergreen tree provides four seasons of interest in the garden.
Plant ranges from 3-8 inches tall in a 3-inch-deep (4.90 fl oz/145.0 mL) pot. From a licensed nursery (Florida Nursery Registration No: 47234100)
