Botanical name: Syzigium paniculatum, saw one last week that was literally covered in small [brush-like] white flowers, a Japanese import, too rich for my pocket, close to 200 euro.
Well Jorge mate, methinks the trunks are far too straight and that rock is TOO dominant, also there is no light passing thru within the foliage.
Also dislike the colour of the container [no harmony with the foliage], which could be a tad deeper, personally would prefer matt-glazed cream, or unglazed brown.
I presume the trees new growth is a like a reddish, burnished coppery colour.
Have six pots of these trees, all of mine must grow indoors all year round, and under these circumstances they shall never flower, but grow like crazy, need pruning almost every week.
Also sorry to say that your pic's a tad small.
Success to whoever's doing this tree, a rewarding species to grow.
