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.
