Luma apiculata, commonly known as the Chilean myrtle, is a small evergreen tree native to the temperate rainforests of Chile and Argentina. It typically grows between 5 to 15 meters tall and features aromatic leaves that are dark green and glossy. The tree produces small white flowers that bloom in summer, followed by edible berries that are purple to black when ripe. This species thrives in well-drained soils and prefers a humid climate, making it suitable for gardens and landscapes in similar environments. Luma apiculata is valued for its ornamental qualities and is often used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits.
