Key Features

Simpson's Stopper is a native evergreen with fragrant white flowers, edible orange-red berries, peeling reddish bark, and strong wildlife value.

Special considerations

Slow growing at first, with good tolerance of salt spray and drought once established. The orange-red berries are edible and also feed birds.

Growing and Care Instructions

Simpson's Stopper grows in full sun to part shade in almost any well-drained soil and can be pruned into a hedge or shaped into a small tree. Fertilize lightly and prune in spring to control height.

  • Fertilizing

    Light feeder; apply slow-release fertilizer two to three times per year during the growing season.

  • Watering

    Water regularly for the first year, then drought tolerant with occasional deep watering in dry spells.

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun to part shade; blooms and fruits best with 6+ hours of sun.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
