Q and A with Nate and Jamie
The "Dragon Tree"
As an acclaimed landscape designer, Jamie frequently incorporates inspiration from his travels into his designs.
When he heard that Oprah's favorite trees are oaks, he was excited to share his own favorite.
"Mine's the dragon tree—it's called 'dracaena draco.' It is a fantastic tree," says Jamie. "It's drought tolerant, it's salt tolerant. It's a type of palm but it is native to the Canary Islands and Madagascar. And it's just a very solid, amazing looking tree and actually there's one in Tenna Reef that's as wide as about four houses, the trunk of it. It's just massive."
