This trail is about a mile from my house. It is a good little hammock for seeing what is native (and some invasive) here.

I think this is Citharexylum fruticosum?

Great photos! I'll have to check this place out next time I'm in town.  Lots of native tropicals at their northern limit there, sea grape, gumbo limbo, red mangrove. 

Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.

Cool photos.  "Citharexylum fruticosum?"  I'm not familiar with that one. After googling I would say you may be correct.  When I first saw the photo I thought it was Indian Hawthorn.     Also, the above comment on Red Mangrove.  I don't see any mangrove in the photos.

Great pictures,

Plant in the picture is Marlberry (Ardisia escallonioides) Berries of Fiddlewood (Citharexylum fruticosum) are bigger and Orange. Both are great natives.

There aren't any Red Mangrove in the photos, but they live in the area and, like several other plants that are photographed, are near their northern natural limit.

The little hammock is looking OK.  

Fla. climate center: 100-119 days>85 F
USDA 1990 hardiness zone 9B
Current USDA hardiness zone 10a
4 km inland from Indian River; 27º N (equivalent to Brisbane)

Central Orlando's urban heat island may be warmer than us
