Brazilian Peppertree or Aroeira. A small compact evergreen tree 7-10 metres in height with fragrant foliage. It can withstand varied environments, from swamps to coastal sand to dry streets. It can sometimes presents itself as a large shrub, making it useful as an informal evergreen hedge or screen. Although known for its drought tolerance it can self-seed in wet irrigated areas, however it is easily controlled in our dry mediterranean climate. Showy white flowers are followed by red berries.
A popular street tree as it forms a compact crown. The seeds and flowers are attractive to wildlife.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
