Brush Bush

A native to Chile, Eucryphia glutinosa is an attractive, underutilized semi-evergreen tree that will look well in most mid sized gardens. Its loose upright habit is quite eye-catching, but its main attraction from June through to August are its 5cm wide, highly fragrant flowers. Another point of interest is that despite its nature being semi-evergreen, you will also see some beautiful Red-Orange Autumn colour.
