Ugni moliniae

Following on from the pink and white variegated Ugni moliniae ‘Flambeau’ (which is all right if you like that sort of thing, and fortunately the public do) we have the more restrained species, U. moliniae, in plain green. Its claim to fame, apart from being a neat little evergreen with myrtus type flowers, is its small, dark red, edible fruits that taste not entirely unlike strawberries. Just the thing for these grow your own food times.
