Description
Bigfoot Cleyera Japonica is a fast-growing, large shrub or small tree that features attractive, glossy light to medium green evergreen leaves. The colorful new growth produced throughout the season emerges light green turning to dark green in summer and displays red-bronze hues in fall. Bigfoot Cleyera produces orange-red holly-like fruit in winter. Cleyera is an excellent substitute for the disease-prone Red Tip Photinia known for its high susceptibility to leaf spot in some regions.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 12 to 15 feet tall and 6 to 7 feet wide, Bigfoot Cleyera is ideal for use as an accent, to frame corners, or to fill large spaces between windows or against open walls in home foundation plantings It also serves as a very attractive evergreen hedge or background in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders. Remove lower branches and you have a very attractive small tree useful as a specimen in sunny to partly shaded areas. A fine addition to tropical look gardens and Xeriscape gardens (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for solid hedges; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
