This is a fast-growing, dense shrub which is an excellent choice to provide privacy or screen an unfavorable view. Birds love to nest in it. Until recently, the Eugenia psyllid caused leaf distortion particularly along the coastal regions of California; but with the introduction of ACE systemic, which is squirted into two holes drilled in the trunk (it's easier than it sounds), the psyllid is eradicated and any nests are left undisturbed by pesticides.

Makes a beautiful, dense privacy hedge. Also, with a good mulch layer it is able to survive our FL dry season with minimal supplemental watering. As for it's cold tolerance, frost does not appear to cause any visible damage.
