This Himalayan native is prized for its unusually long, narrow, and slender foliage, which can reach up to 10 inches in length. The leathery leaves are a deep forest green, often featuring a subtle serrated edge that adds a sharp, contemporary texture to shaded corners. In spring, it produces discreet purple flowers, followed on female plants by clusters of large, spectacular ovoid berries that ripen to a brilliant, glossy red and persist well into Winter. Exceptionally tough and shade-tolerant, it provides a lush, structural backdrop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eExtremely tolerant; thrives in deep shade and copes well with urban pollution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Any well drained soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Best in shade, tolerant of deep shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/b\u003e Evergreen, Winter berries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/b\u003eHardy to -12°C \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6-10ft (2-3m) \u003cb\u003eSpread:\u003c\/b\u003e 6-8ft (2-2.5m)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImage by \u003ca rel=\"author\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/peganum\/\" class=\"owner-name truncate\" title=\"Go to peganum’s photostream\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1771245853801_7141\"\u003epeganum\u003c\/a\u003e cropped and licensed under \u003ca href=\"%20https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Forests","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 3L","offer_id":53346411118919,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2750\/6590\/files\/Aucubahimalaicavar.dolichophylla.jpg?v=1771246117","url":"https:\/\/futureforests.ie\/products\/aucuba-himalaica-var-dolichophylla","provider":"Future Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
