Syzygium Red Cliffs 140MM

Syzygium australe 'Red Cliffs'

I am Syzygium Red Cliffs. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Shrub - Foliage colour

Plant family Myrtaceae

I am a slim and trim selection of bush cherry grown for my compact, pyramid growth habit and young claret coloured new growth. As an Australian native plant I introduce coppery-red hues to the garden. My small fluffy white flowers are followed by edible red to purple berries. I am a great way to attract beneficial insects and other animals to the garden. I trim to shape well making be well suited to topiary and hedging.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

Naturally slim and trim I am a great choice for screening, hedging and topiary

My small fluffy white flowers appear in spring and are followed by edible red berries

I am happy growing in a container making an impressive feature when planted in a large pot or planter
