Eugenia axillaris
The White Stopper is a great understory shrub for coastal sites. With a habit that is typically taller than broad, dense, and symmetrical, this shrub makes a nice hedge, buffer plant or small specimen tree. Blooms year round, with peak in spring and summer; berries turn dark when ripe. This plant is a main nectar source for the Tantalus sphinx moth, so keep a look out!
