A dense and bushy tree that is well suited for use in hedging, screening and shaping. The grey green leaves have a soft silvery tone that gives a Mediterranean look to the garden all year round and the tree responds well to clipping. White flowers appear during summer.

It is self fertile but not a big fruit producer, which makes it a tidy choice where fallen fruit is unwelcome. An excellent choice for a street tree and also suitable for growing in containers. Prefers full sun and free draining soil and is drought tolerant once established. Evergreen.
