Simpson's Stopper (Myrcianthes fragrans)
I can tolerate all light conditions.
Low water needs once established.
Size: 5-20 ft tall x 3-15 ft wide
Bloom Time: Spring
I am a lovely shrub with small bright green leaves. In the spring I produce little white puff blooms followed by orange berries that the birds love. I can be trimmed to a small hedge, or left to grow tall to make a privacy screen. In the shade I am less dense, but my lovely peeling bark is easier to see. In the full sun, I am more compact. I am a great alternative to the very common viburnum sold at big box stores.
