Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A handsome broad leaf selection from McMenamins St. John's Pub of the classic Mediterranean shrub to small tree. To 15 ft in 15 years, 30 ft eventually, with small pearly pink flowers in mid to late winter much loved by hummingbirds, followed by bright orange red fruits -- food for birds and jam fruit for the enterprising cook. Full sun to dappled shade with good drainage and little summer water once established. Cold hardy in USDA zone 8.
