myrtus ugni hedge
A Myrtus ugni hedge, also known as Chilean Guava or New Zealand Cranberry, is an exceptional choice for gardeners looking to grow a lush, fragrant, and edible hedge. Renowned for its compact, evergreen foliage and aromatic pink-white flowers, Myrtus ugni creates a striking visual barrier and attracts birds and bees to your garden. Its small, glossy leaves and masses of sweet, cranberry-like berries in autumn make this hedge both practical and beautiful. In New Zealand gardens, Myrtus ugni is highly adaptable, easy to shape, and performs well in both formal or relaxed landscape styles.

Chilean Guava, New Zealand Cranberry, Ugni Berry
Myrtus ugni, commonly known as the NZ Cranberry or Chilean Guava, is an evergreen shrub grown for its lush foliage, pretty flowers, and colourful berries. It bears small, glossy, dark green leaves held densely on short stems. The real appeal of this plant is the masses of small, white flowers borne from summer through autumn, which result in red berries as it grows to 1.5 m tall and 1 m wide. Myrtus ugni is commonly used as a hedge, incorporated into a mixed planting, grown in a container, featured in a cottage garden, or added to an edible garden.
