Frangula californica (Rhamnus californica) 'Mound San Bruno' is an embodiment of rugged beauty in compact form. Popularly called Mound San Bruno Coffeeberry, this California-native evergreen shrub showcases the brilliance of nature through its dense canopy of dark-green, leathery leaves and less conspicuous green springtime flowers. Its rounded form, reaching up to 3-6 feet both in height and width, makes it an ideal focal point for any landscape type. The real show-stoppers, however, are the brilliant rounds of red to black berries that mature in the fall, transforming your garden into a buffet for local birds. This shrub may be hardy and remarkably tolerant of drought, but that doesn't compromise its love for well-drained soils and areas bathed in full or partial sun. With year-round interest and versatility, the Mound San Bruno Coffeeberry deserves a prime location in your garden or landscape efforts, bringing not just aesthetics, but also the quintessential harmony of nature and wildlife.
