| Posted by flaflwrgrl (North Fl. - Zone 8b) on Jul 28, 2013 11:55 AM This shrub has coarse, dense, dark green leaves. They are opposite, oval with serrated edges, approx. 3.5 inches long and 2 inches wide. The stems are rough textured & brown. It bears small, round, red berries in the fall. This makes an excellent hedge material or it can stand alone as an attractive bush. A quick grower, it does like moist soil & would not be suited to prolonged drought without irrigation.
