Here's a beautiful tropical tree those in south Florida might enjoy growing: Pterospermum acerifolia. Also called bayur, this is a large ornamental tree from southern India, Thailand, Myanmar(Burma) and Java that is also called the 'dinner plate tree' owing to the huge, almost circular shape of its leaves. The attractive velvety leaves are also snow white underneath and when emergent.

A young seedling I'm growing (note the white newl emergent leaf):

The mature tree in the tropics:

Enjoy!
