Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie'
Japanese laurel (Female)
Lustrous, dark green leaves and small clusters of red-purple flowers in April and May, are often followed by large, bright red berries. This compact Japanese laurel is perfect for a small shady site, and is tolerant of dry shade and urban pollution.
Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie' has bisexual flowers, so will usually produce some berries without the need of a pollination partner, but if you want an even bigger crop, try planting it alongside a 'male' variety.

How to care for Aucuba japonica Rozannie:
Plant in well-drained soil in partial to full shade, where it thrives even in wilder, drier and more challenging spots once established. It tolerates urban pollution and coastal conditions, making it a versatile choice for low-maintenance gardens. Water well after planting and during dry spells in the first year.
To promote bushy growth, cut back any straggly branches in spring and shape as needed. After pruning, apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base to conserve moisture and improve soil structure.
