The Simpson’s Stopper, also known as Twinberry (Myrcianthes fragrans), is a highly ornamental evergreen shrub native to Florida and the southeastern coastal regions, prized for its dense, glossy foliage, fragrant white flowers, and clusters of bright red-orange berries. This resilient native plant delivers year-round beauty while supporting pollinators, birds, and wildlife, making it an exceptional choice for hedges, privacy screens, coastal landscapes, native gardens, and low-maintenance home plantings.
With a naturally tidy, upright form, Simpson’s Stopper brings structure and elegance to the landscape, while its berries and blooms provide seasonal interest and ecological value. It thrives in heat, humidity, salt spray, and drought once established, making it one of the most reliable evergreen shrubs for Florida-friendly yards, coastal environments, and environmentally resilient landscapes. Its adaptability to pruning also allows it to be shaped into formal hedges or left to grow naturally for a more relaxed, habitat-rich look.
For land stewards, native-plant enthusiasts, and homeowners seeking a durable, wildlife-supporting, evergreen shrub with ornamental charm, the Simpson’s Stopper (Twinberry) stands out as a top-tier selection.

| Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
