Water Pear| Syzygium GuineenseWater Pear (Syzygium guineense) a hardy, indigenous evergreen that performs beautifully in Western Cape gardens whether grown as a single shade tree or trained into a dense, full hedge. Its glossy foliage creates a lush, year round screen, offering excellent privacy, cooling shade and natural noise softening. From August to December it carries clusters of creamy white, lightly scented flowers that draw bees and seasonal pollinators. Why You'll Love
