You can plant the coir pot directly into the ground, which will eliminate root disturbance and help keep your plant happy. The roots will make their way through the pot and into the soil. The pot itself will decompose within about two months in healthy, watered soil.

Description

Syzygium oleosum. 3.7L coir pot.

This lovely plant produces beautiful blue berries which offer a light crunch and a slightly sweet flavour. They’re ideal for using in jams, wines, syrups and sauces.

Creamy white flowers are produced from spring to winter.

The plant prefers a full sun to part shade position and it makes an ideal edible hedge.

Hardy and drought tolerant once established, the plant enjoys rich, free-draining soil and should grow about 6m high by 4m wide but it can be maintained to a more manageable size with pruning.
