Brush Cherry - Eugenia myrtifolia

The Brush Cherry (Syzygium paniculatum) is a versatile evergreen prized for its dense, glossy foliage and ornamental appeal. It is frequently used as a formal hedge, screen, or topiary because it responds well to shearing and maintains a tight, manicured shape. The plant is striking for its color transformation; new leaves emerge in shades of bronze or reddish-purple before maturing to green. In addition to its foliage, it produces clusters of white, "puffy" or feathery flowers followed by small berries that range from rose-purple to dark red.   Botanical Name   Syzygium paniculatum (formerly known as Eugenia myrtifolia) Also Known As   Australian Brush Cherry | Scrub Cherry | Magenta Cherry | 灌木樱桃 | 澳洲红果仔 | 红楠木 Specifications Plant Type   Native From   USDA Zone   Light Needs   Watering Needs   Leaves   Life Cycle   Avg.
