Description

Carissa Boxwood, also known as Natal Plum, is a tough, low-growing shrub with shiny, leathery leaves and a dense growth habit. In addition to its ornamental value, it produces fragrant white, star-shaped flowers followed by bright red edible fruits. Highly salt-tolerant and drought-resistant, Carissa is perfect for coastal landscapes. Its thorny branches make it a natural deterrent when used as a hedge or border, while its beauty enhances both formal and casual garden settings.
