Simpson’s Stopper (Myrcianthes fragrans) is a dense, evergreen shrub or small tree native to Florida, valued for its glossy green foliage, compact growth habit, and adaptability. It is commonly used as a hedge, screen, or small specimen tree and performs especially well in North Florida landscapes, including coastal areas. Fragrant white flowers appear in spring, followed by small orange to red berries that attract birds.

Care Needs
• Light: Full sun to part sun
• Water: Water regularly during establishment; drought tolerant once established
• Pruning: Responds very well to pruning and shaping; prune as needed to maintain size or form
