Aucuba japonica ‘Mr. Goldstrike’

Glossy dark green foliage heavily speckled with gold creates a beautiful bold focal point for the shadiest areas of the landscape. The leathery leaves resist evaporation making this one of the most drought tolerant plants for dark shady areas. This fabulous evergreen shrub is deer resistant too! As the name suggests this is a male to serve as a pollinizer for berry producing female varieties. 5-6 ft tall and wide. Zone 6-10
