    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Formerly identified as a Rhus this attractive 10-15' shrub/tree has now been given a genus all to itself! With beautiful red stems and veins that stand out against the deep-green, taco-shell shaped, aromatic leaves. Large clusters of white flowers appear at the stem tips in late-spring before turning to pale-pink fruits. This California native is a fine drought-tolerant plant for frost-free climates. S/M-D/GDr
