Japanese Aucuba stunning in winter

For winter landscape interest, it is hard to beat the Japanese aucuba. A few years ago this struck home to me as we were filming a TV segment at one of my favorite small gardens, the Biedenharn Museum and Gardens in Monroe, La. I was stunned with their aucuba, who knew they could produce such a stunning winter look?

Now you are probably thinking I am talking about the variegated foliage that is almost as colorful as a tropical leafed croton. In a way you might be right but what I am referring to are the cherry red fruit that are giant-sized compared to a holly. My guess is that even if you've grown the aucuba you might not have ever seen the fruit.

If you have an aucuba or two and wonder why you do not have red fruit, then it's probably an issue of sex. Aucubas are like many other shrubs in that male and female varieties must be in the garden to get the prized red, winter fruit.

Though the aucuba comes from the Himalayas and Japan it is one of the finest shrubs for the landscape
