Australian Brush-Cherry

Location in MGP:


Common Name: Australian Brush-Cherry

Scientific Name: Syzygium campanulatum

Points of Interest:
Even though it is found as a tree in the rainforests, Syzygium campanulatum is often planted as a bushy shrub or hedge along major roads and expressways for screening purposes due to its thick and compact foliage. Its beautiful foliage also makes it a popular choice for landscaping in gardens and parks
