Description:
Syzygium Big Red PBR has large, glossy leaves whose new growth explodes with one of the darkest crimson foliage available. Big Red PBR has white flowers that are born over summer and followed by edible berries that will attract native birds into your garden. Hardy and dry tolerant, Big Red also responds exceptionally well to shaping. It makes an excellent large hedge (plant 1m apart) and is ideal in formal gardens that call for topiary specimens. For those hedging this plant near swimming pools or along driveways, regular pruning will mean that you constantly remove the flowers preventing the berry production. Grows approx 4m tall x 2.5m wide.
