Description
Large, broad, densely growing evergreen shrub (H 3-4 m, W 2-3 m). Leaves ovate to egg-shaped (up to 10 cm), leathery, smooth, bright light green. Flowers and fruits not remarkable. It grows well in sufficiently drained, fertile, partly sandy soils, in light, open, warm, sheltered sites. Not reliably hardy in central-european continental climate, needs winter protection (mulch, plantfibers).
