Mock Privet or Green Olive. A native evergreen shrub or small tree. It can grow up to 6 metres if given water, but is drought adapted and will stay as a small shrub without irrigation. It makes an attractive small tree with glossy green leaves. In spring the branches are covered in tiny flowers which grow together in clusters that are reminiscent of the inflorescence of the olive. The fruit ripens in October. It has a spherical shape, like a small olive, but less elongated. It is green at first, then red, and when it ripens it is blue-black.
It is very tolerant of maritime exposure and can make an unusual and effective low, hedging plant if pruned regularly.
