Aucuba jap. Crotonifolia / 2ltr

‘Crotonifolia’ is a striking evergreen shrub grown for its bold, glossy leaves splashed with golden-yellow variegation. This female cultivar produces bright red berries in autumn and winter when a male pollinator is nearby, adding extra colour and seasonal interest. Its resilience and vibrant foliage make it a standout choice for shady spots and urban gardens.

Key Features:

• Large, leathery green leaves speckled with gold.
• Bright red winter berries (on female plants with a male nearby).
• Excellent tolerance of shade and pollution.
• Broad, bushy habit ideal for borders, screens, and containers.

Care Tips:

• Position: Partial to full shade; avoid strong midday sun.
• Soil: Moist but well-drained, fertile soil; adaptable to most types.
• Pruning: Light trim in spring to maintain shape and remove damaged stems.
