Heteromeles arbutifolia - Toyon

Market price from $9.99 to $28.50

Heteromeles arbutifolia is a versatile evergreen affectionately known as Toyon, fitting perfectly as a centerpiece in your landscape from the popular "Shrubs" category. Exuding effortless California charm, this robust shrub magnificently stands between 6-15 feet, with the potential of shaping itself into a charming small tree if encouraged. Flourishing under the tender warmth of full sun to the gentle embrace of partial shade, Toyon treats you to a delightful show, as its dense foliage of leathery dark-green leaves, akin to holly, bursts into star-like clusters of small, white flowers in the summer. This spectacle transitions as the cooler months approach, with the transition to vibrant red berries creating a striking contrast against winter's white. With an innate resilience to drought, Toyon is an appealing, stress-free addition to your green space, promoting sustainability while articulating beauty. And as an added bonus, these radiant berries are irresistible to your local feathered friends, encouraging a healthy, lively ecosystem right in your backyard! Whether you're looking to achieve the tranquility of a wildlife garden, the privacy of a hedgerow, or the practicality of erosion control, Toyon stands as a favorite choice, delivering both enduring beauty and robust performance.
