The Simpson’s Stopper is a Florida-native evergreen shrub or small tree known for its fragrant white flowers and vibrant reddish-orange berries. It attracts butterflies, bees, and many bird species year-round, making it a fantastic wildlife-friendly landscape plant. Leaves release a citrus-pine aroma when crushed, and the sweet fruit flesh is edible (though the seeds are bitter). With dense foliage and attractive bark, it works beautifully as a specimen, hedge, or coastal landscape plant.
