The species was first recorded in China by Jesuit missionary Juan Louriero.[2]
Description
X. congestum can grow up to 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) tall and wide.[3] New leaves are a red-bronze colour that mature to a bright green. Although the species seldom flowers, small, black berries can be produced, which attract birds.[1][4]
