Description: Deutsch: Hermannshof: „Braut-Myrte (Myrtus communis). Diese Myrte wurde 1879 nach der Vermählung von Helene und Hermann-Ernst Freudenberg aus einem Steckling aus dem Brautkranz gezogen. Erst wurde sie im Kübel gehalten, später ausgepflanzt. Als mediterranes Gehölz muss sie mit einem Überwinterungshaus vor stärkerem Frost geschützt werden. Das Weinheimer Exemplar ist inzwischen 8 m hoch und breit und gilt als älteste und größte Myrte Deutschlands. Im Sommer zieren unzählige weiße Blütensterne den aromatisch duftenden Strauch.” Juni 2014. Date: 12 June 2014, 11:16:41. Source: Own work. Author: ArishG.

It is known and has been cultivated and adorned in Mediterranean region for a very long time, so that botanists actually do not know exactly where the plant origins. Namely, Myrtaceae are predominantly tropic and sub-tropic plants. Some professionals believe that it is an autochthone species in Mediterranean region, others think that it was brought from Asia millennia ago. Today it is known from all countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It is rare in Slovenia but very common in Croatia, particularly on the Adriatic islands. Flowering bushes are very beautiful in spring time, but also evergreen, shiny leaves and bluish-black berries when ripe do not fall behind. Leaves, bark and berries of this plant contain fragrant etheric oils, which are widely used in cosmetic products. In close contact with humans for so long time many other uses of this extraordinary plant have been developed.Ref.:(1) T. Nikoli, Flora Croatica, Vaskularna flora Republike Hrvatske, Vol. 3.

Habitat: macchia, almost flat terrain; calcareous, skeletal ground; sunny, warm and dry place; elevation 12 m (40 feet) (1) and 40 m (130 feet) (2); average precipitations ~ 1.000 mm/year, average temperature 12-14 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Comment (pertains to pictures in the Flickr album Myrtus communis): Myrtus communis is an important plant in several old cultures from antic times on it is a symbol of beauty, peace and love since classical times. It is known and has been cultivated and adorned in Mediterranean region for a very long time, so that botanists actually do not know exactly where the plant origins. Namely, Myrtaceae are predominantly tropic and sub-tropic plants. Some professionals believe that it is an autochthone species in Mediterranean region, others think that it was brought from Asia millennia ago. Today it is known from all countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It is rare in Slovenia but very common in Croatia, particularly on the Adriatic islands. Flowering bushes are very beautiful in spring time, but also evergreen, shiny leaves and bluish-black berries when ripe do not fall behind. Leaves, bark and berries of this plant contain fragrant etheric oils, which are widely used in cosmetic products. In close contact with humans for so long time many other uses of this extraordinary plant have been developed.Ref.:(1) T. Nikoli, Flora Croatica, Vaskularna flora Republike Hrvatske, Vol. 3.
