A shrub for winter interest
Garrya Elliptica

An evergreen shrub with dark green, leathery leaves, in the depth of winter, long grey-green catkins that can festoon the whole shrub make an interesting talking point in the garden. Useful in shade against walls, but suitable for the larger garden. The beautiful catkins are borne in late winter through early spring and if knocked will dispatch masses of pollen into the air.
This shrub will tolerate hard pruning if it gets to large so a useful shrub for the larger garden.
