Used to shape hedges. Bonsai. Pot plant. Ornamental value for its blossoming and foliage. The berries are used as a condiment.
Compact shrub with thick bright green aromatic lanceolate or round leaves. White flowers. Dark blue edible berries. Adapts to any soils but prefers loamy ones.
Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
