Syzygium, commonly known as brush cherry, water apple, or eugenia, is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree admired for its glossy foliage, dense growth habit, and, in many varieties, colorful flushes of new leaves that emerge in shades of red, bronze, or pink. Ideal for hedges, borders, or topiary, Syzygium is also valued for its edible fruit and occasional fragrant blooms.

With its neat form and lush texture, it’s a favorite for tropical and subtropical landscapes.
