Syzygium paniculatum has previously been known botanically as eugenia but is now syzygium. Syzygium paniculatum is an upright tree that can reach 30-50+ feet tall at maturity. It often goes by the more common name: brush cherry. It is popularly maintained as a large screening shrub or a formally kept hedge. Syzygium paniculatum is also used for topiary gardening.New foliage is produced nearly year round. It is bronze-red maturing to a 1/2 to 1 inch wide glossy green leaf. Syzygium paniculatum produces creamy white brush like flowers. They appear in late spring through early summer. The flower clusters then produce edible rose-purple fruit. Syzygium paniculatum is planted in sun or part shade and should receive occasional to moderate water. It is planted as a common hedge in many parks.
