The Peumus Boldus is an evergreen tree that grows at a slow pace; it will get up to 6m (19ft 8in). The tree is active throughout the year, being in flower from August to September and in leaf the rest of the year. The individual flowers on the tree are either male or female, but never both on the same tree. So if the plant is to be pollinated, both male and female plants must be planted in close range to each other, so pollination is easily accessible. This plant is not self-fertile. | The Peumus Boldus is an evergreen tree that grows at a slow pace; it will get up to 6m (19ft 8in).
