Myrceugenia ovata var. nanonphylla
We’re excited to offer this extremely rare fruiting shrub we’re calling ‘Tangerine Myrtle’. Myrceugenia ovata, sometimes known as Chequén or Chin-Chin, is a gorgeous plant in the Myrtaceae family related to more well-known plants like Pineapple Guava, Chilean Guava, and Luma. This shrub has vibrant peach colored new growth with a distinct citrus like aroma when crushed. Radiant white flowers in summer give way to edible, orange berries with a unique flavor.
Evergreen, pointed leaves give this medium sized plant a formal appearance. Bronze colored bark with time dulls to gray contrasts sharply with the vibrancy of active growth. Expect this shrub to top out at about 8 feet in height with a columnar appearance. Very limited quantity.
Cold hardy to zone 8a and above.
