The Syzygium Campanulatum (pronounced 'Christina' in Thai) is a versatile and attractive flowering plant widely used across many differing types of Thai landscapes.
The colourful, glossy foliage mean that they are often employed as an ornamental plant or hedge, and they can also be grown as topiary. When treated correctly and in the right conditions, they can grow very tall and dense in structure. It is often referred to as its other (older) botanical name Eugenia oleina.
