    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Slow growing, evergreen shrub or small tree, with tiny, slightly toothed oblong leaves of medium green on wiry, dense branches. Inconspicuous flowers are followed by little purple fruits - very decorative. This collection at the University of California at Santa Cruz reaches 8-10 ft tall with a rounded shape. Best in sun to part shade with good drainage and regular summer water, but tolerates brief periods of drought. Frost hardy to 0° F, USDA zone 7. To maintain the juvenile foliage, it's lovely shape and dark color, cut back frequently.
