Hardy, evergreen, very attractive tree with apple green foliage. It blooms with a myriad of small, white flowers from Dec. to Jan., which give the tree a lacy look. The black berries ripen throughout the autumn and winter and are an important source of food for the birds. The tree is host to the citrus butterflies. A beautifully shaped tree and a very good garden subject that can be used as a screen or container plant for outdoors or indoors. The non-aggressive root system makes it ideal for a small garden.
