Description

Cleyera Japonica is a fast-growing, large shrub or small tree that features attractive, very shiny evergreen leaves that provide a tropical look in the landscape. The colorful new growth produced throughout the season emerges in shades of burgundy, orange and red. In our gardens, we’ve found that Cleyera will thrive in quite a bit of shade, making it an excellent choice for a natural hedge or screen in landscape beds that receive anywhere from full sun to only 2 hours of sun per day or all day filtered sun. Cleyera is an excellent substitute for the disease-prone Red Tip Photinia.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 6 to 12 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide depending on pruning, Japanese 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 well as a very attractive evergreen hedge or background in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders that might receive only 2 hours of direct sunlight or all-day filtered sun. Remove lower branches and you have a very attractive small tree useful as a specimen. 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

Growing Preferences

Japanese Cleyera are easy to grow in a range of soils and full sun to part shade. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil however are exceptionally tolerant of dry soil conditions when established. They do not require pruning, however can be pruned to a formal shape or to form a small tree.

I was very glad to find a nursery that had cleyera japonica; Wilson Bros. had such a selection of stock! Service was great, and I never received a plant through UPS that was so thoughtfully prepared for shipping. It arrived in excellent condition and has adapted rapidly to transplanting. I cannot hardly wait to see how it does this summer. It is an attractive addition to my lawn where I am using it as a border.

It was better than I expected!
