Description

Meet your new best friend - a fabulous hedging plant! Not only does it provide awesome privacy, but it's also perfect for topiary and bonsai - you can get creative with its shape. This speedy grower produces gorgeous, glossy green leaves that turn bronze/orange as they emerge. Plus, it attracts native birds to your garden with its showy flowers and delicious (and reddish) fruit. To keep it looking its best, give it regular tip pruning when it's young, so you get a bushy shape all the way down. In spring/summer, fertilise it to keep it happy - it thrives in sunny to light shade and well-drained soil with plenty of organic goodness.
