Hardiness level Green
A large evergreen shrub with big leathery, deep green oval leaves. White umbels of small white flowers in early summer are followed by blue-black berries, and will produce huge leaves in wet parts of the UK such as Cumbria. It might require some shelter in cold areas but is generally unfussy. Where happy it could reach 2.5-4m height and spread over 10-20 years.
Shade or semi-shade, very lime tolerant. Prune after flowering in early summer, can be hard pruned successfully in late spring.
N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.
As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
