Shogun® Series Japanese Blueberry Tree
Elaeocarpus decipiens
SKU
03196
An excellent evergreen tree with handsome, glossy, green foliage. Older leaves produce a highly ornamental effect throughout the year as they turn bright red before dropping. A great choice for use in parks and larger landscapes. Blue-black, olive-like fruit in winter will not stain patios and concrete pathways.
