Acmena Cheeky Merlot is an extremely compact shrub with a neat, dense growth habit. With lovely deep burgundy to red new growth throughout the growing season, the foliage matures to deep green. Cheeky Merlot is the perfect choice for mid-size hedging solutions or as a feature plant in native or wildlife-friendly garden designs. It can be pruned to a desired shape and size; however, pruning is rarely required due to the natural compact habit.
