Prunus ilicifolia ssp lyonii - Catalina Cherry

Market price from $49.99 to $90.99

Prunus ilicifolia ssp lyonii is more commonly known as the captivating Catalina Cherry. A testament to the beauty and resilience of Southern California's native flora, this stately evergreen shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and exemplifies low-water landscaping needs with its drought-tolerant abilities. The Catalina Cherry entertains a growth spurt that would make Jack's beanstalk jealous, sprinting to heights of between 12 to 30 feet. Its lush, glossy dark green leaves present a holly-like appearance that retains its allure through every season. During late spring, this versatile shrub impresses further with a delicate display of clustered white blossoms, later giving way to a bounty of dark purple cherries that are not just a feast for the eyes, but also for local wildlife. Whether serving as a bold hedge, a privacy screen, or the centerpiece of a naturalistic landscape, the Catalina Cherry is a stunning choice that pairs environmental harmony with aesthetic appeal.
