Description

This shrub is highly ornamental with dense foliage. It can reach 3' tall and 6' wide. It is easily pruned and shaped, thus its popularity as a bonsai plant. Flowers are small, showy, and red orange, developing into dry red fruit (not edible). It is considered evergreen in mild frost-free winter areas. This shrub is great in containers. It needs extra summer water in hot inland valleys.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
