(Myrtle or or Chilean Guava) New to us this is a very handsome small evergreen shrub with dark green leaves and fetching coppery-red young shoots and leaves in Spring.

Pretty pale pink, bell-like flowers in late Spring are followed by edible, tasty dark red berries in autumn which can be eaten directly for used for cooking.

Most suited to a position in sun or light, dappled shade in a warm, sheltered garden!

Can be grown in a large container. Not suitable for cold, windy areas.
