Aucuba japonica (Male Green Aucuba)

Aucuba japonica is an evergreen shrub with lustrous, leathery leaves that are glossy and dark green. It is Dioecious, meaning it has separate male and female plants, and the male plants produce small, inconspicuous flowers. This cultivar specifically features green leaves, as opposed to the variegated cultivars commonly found. It is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in both full sun and shade.
