About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Shui weng (Cleistocalyx nervosum) is an evergreen tree in the myrtle family, with leathery, elongated leaves and clusters of small flowers filled with fine stamens. Rounded fruits ripen from reddish tones toward dark purple, adding another point of interest within the leafy crown.

Associated with streamside habitats in southern China and other parts of tropical Asia, shui weng brings a lush woodland character to suitable warm-climate landscapes. Its foliage, flowers and developing fruit make it a rewarding tree for a spacious garden or botanical collection.
