Acmena Smithii Minor ‘Cherry Surprise’

Acmena smithii ‘Cherry Surprise’ is a compact, evergreen shrub or small tree admired for its attractive new foliage, which emerges in shades of bright red and pink before maturing to glossy dark green, creating a striking seasonal contrast. Its dense, bushy habit makes it ideal for ornamental planting, hedges, and feature spots in gardens.

This variety typically grows 3–6 meters tall with a rounded to upright form, making it suitable for hedging, screening, containers, and specimen planting. During warmer months, it produces small, white fluffy flowers, followed by red berries that attract birds and add wildlife value to the garden.

Acmena ‘Cherry Surprise’ thrives in full sun to partial shade, prefers well-drained soil, and is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Light pruning encourages denser growth and more vibrant new foliage, maintaining a neat and colourful appearance.

Perfect for hedges, privacy screens, formal or informal gardens, and container displays, Acmena smithii ‘Cherry Surprise’ offers year-round colour, low maintenance, and ornamental appeal.
