    Lovely variant of our native West Coast, evergreen buckthorn, this collected north of Placerville, California, growing to 6-8' with particularly narrow leaves, both furry and silver-green in the texture and color of a velour. Perfect for the summer dry garden with lean soil in half to full sun. Flowers are insignificant but decorative berries produced in the fall are red and ripen to black, both colors existing side by side. Frost hardy to the bottom of USDA zone 8. Also known as Rhamnus californica ssp. tomentella and, the newest name, Frangula californica ssp. tomentella.
