Myrtus ugni or Ugni molinae, commonly known as the Chilean Guava or New Zealand Cranberry, is a delightful evergreen shrub that offers both ornamental and culinary benefits. It boasts fragrant flowers that bloom to reveal delicious, aromatic dark red berries by late summer. This compact shrub typically grows to a height of 1.2 metres and a width of 0.6 metres, making it an ideal choice for low hedging, especially around vegetable gardens. The berries, reminiscent of wild strawberries, are a treat to the palate and can be eaten fresh or used in jams and desserts. The Chilean Guava thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny to partially shaded location. Its hardy nature and attractive appearance make it a favourite among garden enthusiasts and those seeking a unique berry-producing plant.
