A small dense shrub with mid-sized glossy green leaves with bronze coloured new growth. It is a great Aussie hedging plant that responds well to pruning. Can also be used for low screening, topiary work and as a feature plant. White powder-puff flowers are followed by red fruits that attract birds.The fruit has a pleasantly sour taste and can be eaten fresh or made into jam and as the base for a sauce. Grows in most soils, in full sun to part shade. Mulching and feeding with a good all purpose fertiliser will ensure optimal growth. Can be subject to psyllid attack, pick off any affected leaves to treat.
