Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Spanish Cherry - Mimusops elengi
Few evergreen specimens offer the combination of dense canopy, intensely fragrant bloom, and year-round foliage that Mimusops elengi delivers. A proven performer across tropical and subtropical Australia, advanced stock specimens establish quickly and make an immediate statement on any prestige property.
Why Spanish Cherry
Fragrance at Scale: Creamy-white star-form flowers produce a rich, pervasive scent across spring and summer, lending sensory depth to large outdoor spaces.
Evergreen Canopy: Dense, glossy foliage provides continuous shade and visual mass without seasonal dieback.
Edible Fruit: Orange-brown fruit ripens in late summer to autumn; an added layer of interest on food-integrated or resort-style landscapes.
Drought Resilience: Once established, tolerates extended dry periods with minimal intervention, well suited to low-maintenance prestige projects.
Long-Term Structure: Matures to 15 to 20m with a broad, spreading crown; a genuine legacy tree that appreciates in landscape value over time.
Ideal Applications
Signature Feature Tree: Commands attention as a standalone specimen on large residential or commercial properties.
Avenue Planting: Uniform canopy spread makes it an authoritative choice for formal driveways and boulevard corridors.
Privacy Screening: Responds well to formative pruning; can be shaped into a dense, evergreen boundary screen.
Streetscape & Civic Projects: Heat tolerance and proven urban performance make it a reliable specification for landscape architects working in warm-climate zones.
Specimen & Installation
