This evergreen shrub is the plant for that dark spot in your garden. Aucuba 'Rozannie' has glossy dark green foliage. The fruits are large and bright red. We heartily recommend this great evergreen.

A bold and showy specimen, inconspicuous but very cute maroon flowers become abundant bright-red fruits, without a male! The deep-green glossy evergreen foliage makes this compact rounded 3' shrub perfect for foundation, low-hedge or container; an easy-care beauty that will tolerate full shade and heavy soil. PSh-Sh/M

Many garderners forget just how nice the large red aucuba fruit can be. Aucuba japonica ???Rozanne?? is self- fertile and, from tiny purple flowers, produces unusually large red berries, beautiful against the shiny, leathery leaves, and often lasting through the winter. This is a handsome, evergreen shrub, to 3-4 ft tall and wide, with dark leaves and green stems. Happy growing in the lightest or deepest shade where soil is rich and summer water is provided. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6, and said to be unpalatable to deer.

Compact and spreading, this shrub grows to 3'. It produces fruit without the presence of a male plant. Perfect tiny flowers. This is a green leaved form that is grown for its attractive red fruit contrasting with its shiny green leaves.
