Aucuba japonica “male” - Glossy, deep green leaves are long and strap-shaped on this selected male clone. Interestingly, ours flowered for the first time in 2015. By late season all of our multiple female clones adjacent to the males exhibited displays of rich red "berries" the size of grapes. If you want the beautiful clustered red berries at the tops of stems which contrast strikingly with the evergreen leaves then you need a male – and this is a good one. Yes – this is another genus of plants that is dioecious with separate male and female plants like hollies (Ilex) and bayberries (Morella). Set this boy adjacent to or among your girls and let the party begin! Fertile, draining soil sited in full to part shade. Spring planting would be wise unless to be pot grown in a conservatory. Cutting grown.
