Luma apiculata, (Chilean Myrtle) is a species of tree in the genus Luma in the family Myrtaceae, native to the central Andes mountains between Chile and Argentina between 33 and 45° South Latitude.
The Chilean Myrtle grows slowly, forming a small tree of around 10 to 15 meters, rarely 20 meters. Its trunk appears twisted and contorted and has smooth bark, coloured grey to bright orange-brown, which peels as the tree grows. It is evergreen, with small fragrant oval leaves 2 to 2.5 centimeters long and 1.5 broad, and profuse white flowers in early to mid summer. Its fruit is an edible black or blue berry 1 centimeter in diameter, ripe in early autumn. ts fruit is appreciated in Chile and Argentina and its flowers are important for honey production. The Chilean Myrtle has medicinal uses for the Mapuche people. It is also kept as bonsai and cultivated in gardens for the contrast of the glossy foliage and slender red stems. It has become naturalised in parts of Ireland and western Great Britain and it has been planted in Spain.
