A beautiful evergreen shrub that is easy to grow. Exotic-looking, white-petalled flowers with tufted, crimson centers are followed in fall by sweetly aromatic, edible fruits. Sun-loving and drought-tolerant, these evergreens aren't cold-hardy and need a sheltered sunny wall in all but the mildest climates. While fruit isn't as sweet as Guava's (Psidium), they're eaten raw or used in jelly. Flower petals are also edible. The Olive-like leaves are dark, glossy green, with white undersides. They can grow to 20 ft. tall, but are easily shaped by pruning to use as a screen, hedge, small tree or espalier plant. Autumn foliage color is bluish gray. Prune in late spring. Fruit is ripe when it starts to soften.
