    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Another first introduction into cultivation, this is an evergreen shrubby relative of rhododendrons and our west coast native salal (G. shallon ). Long arching branches with large ovate leaves and softly bristly stems. The leaves are quite leathery with deeply impressed veins and a long acuminate drip tip. The small reddish flowers are followed by purple-black fruits in autumn.
