Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A New Zealand selection by Great Britain's Roy Lancaster, one of the hardier of the genus. A small tree, narrowly pyramidal to 15-20 ft, with dark evergreen, scalloped, 1" leaves made even more elegant by the nearly black, lacy stems. With eucryphia, one of the handsomest and best small trees for its multiple clusters of small white flowers, here in June and July. Prefers cool, well-drained soil with its face in the sun and consistent summer moisture in dry places. Avoid high humidity. Frost hardy into low USDA zone 8 if kept from drying or freezing winds.
