An Australian native, Eugenia myrtifolia or Syzygium conforms to a column, bush or multi-trunked tree shape as needed. Its sensitivity to frost confines it to Western Garden zones 16, 17, and 20-24 but it is a blockbuster in these lucky regions. With stunning glossy green foliage that emerges tinged with red, it is attractive all year but particularly when the creamy pom-pom shaped flowers appear in spring or summer yielding cherry-like berries in the autumn. The latter naturally attract birds in droves. It makes a fabulous screen or hedge, conforms nicely to topiary shaping, and serves as a wind-breaker where needed. It is also popular among bonsai artists. Australian Brush Cherry craves sunshine and medium water with well-drained soil, reaching 15-40’ tall and 5-15’ wide with time. As a bonus, it is drought and seacoast tolerant! Boething Treeland offers these in 5 and 15 gallons.
