This frost-hardy evergreen tree blossoms in late summer

6 February 2015

• This fast-growing evergreen tree grows to about 4m, and has a lovely rounded shape.
• The new foliage growth has a striking russet-purple colour.
• The tiny whitish flowers are conspicuous as they stand upwards at the ends of the branches in winter to early spring, when most other plants are not flowering.
• Seed pods form during the summer months and split open to display bright red seeds, which birds enjoy; sometimes, the entire tree is spangled with red seeds.
• Glossy bersama is a frost-tender tree that loves plenty of water in summer; plant in a sunny position.
