Umbellularia

Umbellularia californica is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 20 meters tall, though it typically reaches about 10 meters in cultivated settings. The leaves are lance-shaped, glossy, and dark green, emitting a strong aroma when crushed. In late spring, the tree produces small clusters of creamy-yellow flowers, which may give way to oval fruits measuring up to 2.5 centimeters in length, changing from green to purple as they mature.
