This neat and attractive tree is ideal for a small garden setting. The almost black coloured leaves gives your garden a unique focal feature and the cream coloured flowers add a sweet fragrance. It responds well to clipping which also makes it ideal to be planted as a hedge. Due to the slow growing nature, it shouldn't need to be maintained too often. Also suitable to be planted in a pot or planter. This indigenous beauty will fit right in!
