Aristotelia chilensis ‘Variegata’

Aristotelia chilensis ‘Variegata’ grows into a 3m high shrub in time, but responds well to pruning making vigorous new growth. Flowers and berries are inconspicuous but the variegation is an uneven mix of green and gold making an attractive specimen or background evergreen. It is hardy, but the old leaves are damaged by winter wind. Any soil or aspect, tolerates maritime exposure.
