Why Choose Chilean Guava (New Zealand Cranberry)

Chilean guava (Myrtus ugni) is celebrated for both its ornamental beauty and edible appeal. Small, leathery, glossy leaves provide a lush backdrop, while scented, pale pink flowers appear from late spring to summer, attracting bees and pollinators. By mid to late summer, charming red berries ripen, bursting with a rich, sweet flavour reminiscent of wild strawberries and spice. The fruit is packed with antioxidants and makes an excellent addition to desserts, coulis, or simply enjoyed fresh from the shrub.

Growing Chilean Guava in New Zealand

Chilean guava thrives in most regions of New Zealand, provided it has a sunny to partially shaded spot and well-drained soil. Regular moisture encourages fruiting, though established shrubs are surprisingly drought tolerant. Shelter from harsh winds will help protect flower and berry set. Thanks to its neat, compact growth (usually 1–1.5m high), chilean guava is perfect for hedges, edible borders, or even container gardening on patios.

Pruning after fruiting keeps your plant tidy and encourages a bumper crop the following year. Mulch in spring, and feed with a balanced fertiliser for best results. With just a little care, Myrtus ugni brings reliable harvests and a splash of evergreen beauty all year round.

Companion Shrubs for Unique Garden Design

Chilean guava pairs beautifully with a range of evergreen and flowering shrubs. Consider planting alongside classic fragrance shrubs like Myrtus communis, the golden-leaved Myrtus Glanleam Gold, or striking variegated Myrtus communis Variegata. For foliage contrast, try silver-hued Corokia Geentys Ghost or the vibrant flower displays of Callistemon 'Purple Splendour' (Purple Bottlebrush) and Ceanothus 'Eleanor Taylor' (California Lilac Eleanor Taylor). Enhance shade gardens and woodland borders with the fragrant blooms of Rhododendron Scented Sun or the bold colour of Azalea Miss Suzie.
