New growth emerges a fiery red before maturing to glossy green, providing attractive colour and dense evergreen coverage throughout the year.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFluffy cream flowers appear during summer and may be followed by decorative purple berries. ‘Firescreen’ is a low-fruiting cultivar, making it particularly useful around pools, pathways and other areas where excessive fruit drop may be undesirable.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNaturally dense and upright, it makes an excellent privacy screen or hedge without requiring constant pruning to maintain its form. It is also psyllid resistant and generally has few pest or disease problems.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: approximately 5 metres high × 3 metres wide, but can be maintained significantly smaller with regular pruning.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant in full sun to part shade in any well-drained soil.
