Product Overview
An excellent choice for foundation plantings, hedges or lining a fence or wall, Dwarf Yaupon accents the landscape with glossy green foliage. Developing a gently spreading habit as it matures, this compact evergreen is the ideal shrub for nearly any landscape application. Its petite foliage emerges without spines in a reddish tint before maturing to a rich green shade and its tiny white blossoms open in spring. in fall, ornamental red fruits develop, adding late-season interest to the landscape. Dwarf Yaupon tolerates drought and salt spray better than most shrubs, making it ideal for dry climates and coastal areas.
- Includes 1 Dwarf Yaupon Schillings Dwarf in a 2.5 qt. grower pot
- Best grown in USDA hardiness zones 7-11, but will perform well in colder zones with proper winter protection
- Mature size is 3 ft. to 5 ft. tall and 3 ft. to 6 ft. W but can be pruned for a tidier habit
- Forms a dense mound of dark green foliage ideal as a low formal hedge
- Versatile, easily maintained shrub tolerates drought and salt spray and rarely needs trimming
- Performs best in full Sun to partial shade

I bought 3 of these shrubs along with 4 other shrubs same pot size and weight. These shrubs were a third of the size of the other ones. Hopefully they grow quickly to catch up. Packaged well for shipping and we're still moist.
