Aucuba japonica

Aucuba Japonica is an evergreen shrub which will grow practically anywhere. To produce its characteristic red berries a female and male plant are required. The beautiful, glossy foliage of A japonica truly brighten up gardens and parks when little else is growing. Native to Japan and fully hardy, its mature size is normally around 2m, although it is not uncommon for it to reach as much as 3m. Perfect for growing under trees.
