probably from some social disease

Our plants are cutting-grown to ensure the species remains pure

which truly resembles the beak of a bird

because at the onset of hot weather the entire clump goes dormant for the summer

we recommend removing all old foliage regularly to retain the attractiveness of the clump

Aucuba japonica Shilpot Paeonia probably from some social diseaseAucuba japonica 'Shilpot', sold under the illegally used tradename, Pepper Pot, has been one of our favorites since we first grew it in 2005. Aucuba 'Shilpot' is a slow growing male clone with glossy green foliage, heavily spotted with tiny yellow spots. For us, our dwarf 8 year old specimens are only 3' tall, so we're guessing it will eventually make 3. 5' tall. Aucuba japonica 'Shilpot' makes a really unique, lovely specimen in the woodland garden.
