Bucida buceras is a single-trunked tree that will reach 25 feet when mature. It features an upright, rounded crown. A perfect street tree, black olive is resistant to wind, salt, attacks from pests, and its roots are unobtrusive.

It is native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. It is commonly found in coastal swamps and wet inland forests in low elevations.

Since its dry wood is termite-resistant, extremely hard and durable, it will be excellent in construction of house posts, fence, scaffolding and bridge timbers. The bark may be used for tanning leather. A popular tree that can be trained as a bonsai specimen.

The Bucida stays full all year round, with fresh green-blue leaves. The Bucida is easy to care for, however does need a lot of water. The soil should be well-drained and should not dry out. If there is not enough water, the plant will drop its leaves.
