Eugenia myrtifolia is an Australian native evergreen shrub with an upright, spreading, and dense habit and featuring foliage with bronze/red new growth that matures to deep, glossy green, creamy white pompom flower clusters in spring/summer, and edible, cherry-like magenta/red berries in late summer/fall. It makes an excellent privacy hedge, screen or windbreak. Can also be pruned into cones, columns, or spirals in the ground or in containers. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Full sun to partial shade. Will tolerate deep shade but may lose some density. It prefers well-drained, organically rich, and slightly acidic to neutral soils, but is adaptable to various soil types. Moderate water use. It requires consistent moisture while establishing, but displays good drought tolerance once established. Moderate Verticillium wilt-resistance. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant when maintained. Cold hardy to 25°F.
