Description

Rhamnus californica 'Mound San Bruno' Coffeeberry is an attractive evergreen that can be a shrubby groundcover, border planting, or foundation plant. .Tolerates shearing and can be shaped into a poodle if you have nothing better to do. A little smaller than 'Eve Case'. More garden tolerant, much less tolerant than either the species or 'Eve Case' of drought, sun, heat or cold. A very good choice for mild coastal environments or a conventional garden where you want to introduce a few native plants. Afternoon shade in the interior and near regular water at most locations. An excellent substitute for Rhaphiolepis. Excellent in those heavy adobe soils that are a little 'springy' after the winter rains.
