Erythroxylum emarginatum is a hardy, evergreen, beautiful small tree or large shrub. This dark green glossy, leaved shrub has rigid branches and a beautiful, neat shape. You can use it as a dense shrub or prune it into a single stemmed small tree.
The white flowers are small but sweetly scented and are followed by attractive red berries. The flowers attract tiny pollinating insects while the berries are relished by birds.
It grows in sun and shade so is perfect for the south side of a building.
Size: up to 4 to 6m
