A hardy, shade-tolerant evergreen traditionally used as screening. will thrive in any soil which is not shallow chalk or too dry or waterlogged. Shiny, leathery, rich-green leaves are accompanied by upright clusters of white flowers in April, followed by small cherry-like fruits which blacken as they mature. The 'Rotundifolia' variant is the most widely used form and is what we will supply unless otherwise informed. We can also quote for 'Caucasica' 'Herbergii','Novita' and other varieties.
