Description

The large, blue grey leaves of the Big Berry become almost blue white in the summer, offering a striking backdrop to the rosy pink flowers and dark purple brown bark. It also bears showy fruit. Growth reaches 8' tall and wide. This beautiful species from the interior coast ranges needs good drainage, with no summer watering except in the very hottest locations. -Monterey Bay Nursery
