Plant Description

Gardenia cornuta is a neat, decorative tree with stiff branches that can also be planted in a container to serve as a Christmas tree. The large, white, sweetly-scented flowers do not last very long, but the yellow fruits, reminiscent of guavas, are very decorative and persist on the tree for months.

Due to the moderate size of Gardenia cornuta , it can be planted in quite a small garden.

You may find stock of this plant at Random Harvest.
