| Grower's | Notes: | |||
| Aucuba prefers a rich, sandy loam with
some organic matter but will adapt successfully to a
heavier soil as long as it is well-drained. Plant 2 to 3 feet apart for the best landscape effect because they grow so slowly. Pruning is seldom necessary. The irregular, multistemmed habit of growth makes Aucuba a natural for informal plantings, while the dense, compact form makes it useful as a free-standing specimen in small areas. Only female plants bear red berries in fall and winter, provided there is a male plant close by. Aucuba makes a nice house plant, and it performs well in a container. |
