Ugni molinae ‘Ka’pow’

A selected form of the marvellous 'Chilean Guava'. Previously known as Myrtus ugni, this little Myrtle inhabits woodland and scrub in S. Chile and is reasonably hardy here, forming an erect evergreen shrub to about 1.5m high, with tiny leathery leaves and very pretty, waxy, soft-pink bells followed by delicious mahogany-red fruit, tasting like sweets. In cold areas needs wall protection.
