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.

  • Description

  • Notes

A cultivar of V. x rhytidophylloides, selected for particularly lustrous foliage and arching habit. As with 'Alleghany,' it grows about 10 to 12 feet tall and wide, and is useful as a screen, hedge, or in a shrub border. White May flowers are followed by fruit ripening from red to black. Leaves are large, slightly fuzzy, and their persistence provide year long interest.
