Plant Summary

The mickey mouse bush, Ochna serrulata, is a small shrub or tree with glossy green leaves, fragrant yellow flowers, and striking fruits that resemble the face of the famous cartoon character. It attracts bees, butterflies, and birds that feed on its ripe fruits. Traditionally, its roots are used as medicine. It grows well in frost-free areas, in full sun or semi-shade, and prefers good soil with compost and mulch. It can be pruned to keep it compact and shapely, and makes an excellent hedge, feature plant, container plant, or bonsai.
