The Tarantino myrtle is a compact and highly decorative variety of Myrtus communis, prized for its thick, glossy foliage, summer flowering, and autumn berries. Thanks to its slow, orderly growth, it is ideal for low hedges, borders, and potted cultivation, making gardens and terraces elegant and fragrant all year round.

More compact and upright than the common myrtle; the leaves picked in summer flavor meats; the fully ripened fruits are used to make digestive liqueurs in late summer.
