jardimseco
A pretty, medium-sized evergreen shrub or small tree with the added bonus of very fragrant white flowers in early summer, followed by berries in autumn. The fruits are small, shiny black berries which are poisonous to humans but are eaten by birds. It is attractive to a variety of insects and birds as a food source and as a nesting tree. It makes a beautiful natural specimen, left to grow as it pleases, but is also tolerant of pruning. It is therefore often used for hedges or as a topiary in more formal settings.
It is only known to be native to the northern mountainous parts of Portugal, but it occurs over a very wide area, including central and southern Europe, north Africa and south-west Asia, from Ireland and south-west Sweden, south to Morocco and east to Poland and north-west Iran. It is adaptable and can withstand drought and high temperatures.
