Marlberry is an evergreen shrub or tree that
occurs naturally in coastal strands and hammocks and pine rocklands throughout Central
and South Florida. It blooms and fruits intermittently throughout the year,
with peak blooming in summer through fall. Marlberry’s abundant fruit is
enjoyed by birds and small animals and is also edible to humans. Its dense
foliage provides significant cover for wildlife.
Its fragrant flowers may be creamy white or
pinkish, have distinctly noticeable yellow anthers, and are born in
dense terminal or axillary panicles. The plant’s thick,
dark green leaves are glossy, lanceolate to elliptic and
tend to reflex upward. They are petiolate and alternately
arranged. Leaf margins are entire. Bark is smooth, thin and
whitish-gray. Fruits begin as small green to reddish drupes that
turn shiny and black when mature. Each fruit bears a single hard seed.
Marlberry is both attractive and versatile. It works well as both a specimen
plant and when used as a hedge or buffer, as it can easily be pruned or trimmed
to maintain a desired shape or size. The plant is salt- and drought-tolerant
and will grow in sunny and shady landscapes.
