Prunus Lusitanica ‘Myrtifolia’ is a fantastic evergreen shrub or small tree. This variety is neat, dense, bushy and upright habit. An excellent choice for hedging, planting towards the back of a border or as a specimen tree.

Summer brings sprays of small, white, beautifully scented flowers which are followed by purple fruit. The fragrant blooms attract beneficial pollinators and the fruits provide food for birds.
