Add lush foliage to your garden with an evergreen, rainforest native shrub. This small tree has a pendulous, weeping habit and produces glossy, apple green leaves with bright pink new growth and fluffy pale pink flowers in summer that attract bees and native birds. Edible berries follow, which are great for jams and jellies. It is excellent as an ornamental tree and the dense nature of the foliage makes it great for hedging and topiary. It is also drought and front tolerant once established.
