White Stopper (Eugenia axillaris) is a resilient evergreen tree that adds both beauty and functionality to landscapes. Growing 15-25 feet tall with a spread of 8-15 feet, this adaptable tree thrives in part shade to part sun and prefers well-drained, moist soils, including sand, loam, clay, and limestone. Its delicate white-cream flowers bloom subtly, followed by striking fruit that transitions from green to red and finally to black, providing an important food source for birds.
Once established, White Stopper exhibits impressive drought tolerance, making it an excellent choice for sustainable, low-maintenance gardens. Whether used as a natural privacy screen, habitat support, or ornamental tree, White Stopper brings ecological benefits and year-round interest to outdoor spaces.
