An evergreen shrub with distinctive smooth, cinnamon-brown bark that peels to reveal cream and tan tones underneath — attractive year-round. Creamy white flowers appear from summer through autumn, followed by small dark purple fruit with a cherry-like flavour. Fragrant leaves when crushed.

Easy to prune and shape. Works as a hedge, screen, or feature plant. A unique choice for Melbourne gardens.
