Sun to semi-shade

Hardy, evergreen, drought resistant, small, decorative tree with a drooping rounded crown of bright green foliage.  The inconspicuous flowers (male and female flowers on separate plants, therefore only female plants bear fruit) are borne from Jan. to April and are followed by bunches of fruit which attract birds.  It grows in most soil types and makes a beautiful, graceful tree that is ideal for a small garden in sun or semi-shade.
