Wayne Roderick's outstanding selection of a shrubby coastal native is a strong grower, quickly reaching 10 feet or more and producing a thicket of shoots from the base. The 2-3 inch leaves somewhat resemble those of a live oak in their shape and wavy margins. They are more closely spaced along the stems in this selection than in the better-known 'James Roof'. In winter and early spring heavy clusters of pale green, often purple-tinged male catkins appear at the branch tips and elongate into pendant tassels up to 1 foot long. This plant responds well to pruning and may be used in large hedges and screens as well as free standing. Sun or light shade, reasonably well drained soil, moderate to no supplemental watering when established. Hardy to 15 degrees F. or less.
