Botanical/Plant/Tree names for a Boy?

Looking for a name for a boy to go with their elder sisters name (Think Ivy, Iris, Hazel etc), but not too out there as we are fairly conventional in our taste and don't want to saddle baby with something they will hate!

Amy ideas please?!

Unfortunately there aren't as many plant like names for boys as for girls unless you want something a bit 'unusual'! Like Cedar.

My son's middle name is Rowan - I love it and sometimes wish I'd put it first ahead of his much more conventional name.

I’m laughing to myself at 'Corky' 😂

I knew a man called Tarn, which is a bit unusual but quite striking, in a good way.
