Marlberry (Ardisia escallonioides)

Full sun to part shade.
​

I have low to average water needs. 

Size: 3-18+ ft tall x 3-8 ft wide
​

This evergreen shrub works as both a specimen plant or as a pruned hedge. It blooms and fruits intermittently throughout the year, with peak blooming in summer through fall. Marlberry’s abundant fruit is enjoyed by birds and small animals and is also edible to humans. Its dense, dark green foliage provides significant cover for wildlife. Often overlooked as a landscape plant, this shrub to small tree is both attractive and versatile. The plant is salt and drought tolerant and will grow in sunny and shady landscapes.
