Glory bush

Glory bush is a medium-sized evergreen tree native to forests in Brazil. Still, it has also found its way to Australia, where it is often planted as an ornamental in gardens and urban landscapes. It makes an excellent tree on roadways in urban settings because the roots do not grow aggressively under pavement, causing cracks.
