Japanese Aucuba Aucuba japonica Height: 8 feet Spread: 8 feet Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: 6b Other Names: Spotted Laurel Japanese Aucuba foliage Description: Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder An interesting evergreen shrub that solves the problem of the most shaded garden areas; female plants produce berries; ideal as a dense screen; drought tolerant once established Ornamental Features Japanese Aucuba has attractive yellow-spotted dark green foliage. The glossy pointy leaves are highly ornamental and remain dark green throughout the winter. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Japanese Aucuba is a dense multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and can be pruned at anytime. It has no significant negative characteristics. Japanese Aucuba is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Accent - Mass Planting - Hedges/Screening - General Garden Use Planting & Growing Japanese Aucuba will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It has a low canopy, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. This shrub does best in partial shade to shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This species is not originally from North America..

Objectives This chapter teaches people to: 1. Identify certain plant diseases and disorders using a step-by-step process. 2. Recognize when a laboratory diagnosis for a plant problem is warranted. 3. Describe and explain the differences between the major categories of plant diseases. 4. For each plant disease, explain the implications for plant health. 5. Explain how the host plant and environmental conditions affect disease development. 6. Recommend preventive strategies and management techniques for the most common plant diseases in North Carolina. 7. Distinguish between plant damage caused by diseases, insects, and environmental conditions. II. Introduction The term plant disease refers to an impairment in the structure or function of a plant that results in observable symptoms. In this chapter the focus will be on infectious diseases—those that result from an attack by a fungus, bacterium, nematode, virus, or another organism. Other disorders can be caused by abiotic (environmental and cultural) factors, such as compacted soil, excess water, nutrient deficiencies, chemical injury, or air pollution.

Aucuba Japonica1
Fact Sheet FPS-57 October, 1999 Aucuba japonica1 Edward F. Gilman2 Introduction This tough, very slow-growing evergreen shrub tolerates a wide range of soils, performs well in deep shade, and has attractive glossy green leaves and bright-red fruit (Fig. 1). The variegated forms brighten any area in the landscape with deep shade. Leaf variegation differs dramatically from plant to plant; some have leaves with only a few flecks of yellow, whereas others seem to have yellow leaves with a few flecks of green. Leaves on plants receiving sun in the summer or winter will become chlorotic. General Information Scientific name: Aucuba japonica Pronunciation: aw-KEW-buh juh-PAW-nick-uh Common name(s): Aucuba, Japanese Acuba, Japanese Laurel Family: Cornaceae Plant type: shrub USDA hardiness zones: 7B through 9 (Fig. 2) Planting month for zone 7: year round Planting month for zone 8: year round Figure 1.

AUCUBACEAE 桃叶珊瑚科 Tao Ye Shan Hu Ke Xiang Qiuyun (向秋云 Jenny Xiang)1; David Boufford2 Trees Or Shrubs, Dioecious; Branches Opposite, Cylindrical
Flora of China 14: 222–226. 2005. AUCUBACEAE 桃叶珊瑚科 tao ye shan hu ke Xiang Qiuyun (向秋云 Jenny Xiang)1; David Boufford2 Trees or shrubs, dioecious; branches opposite, cylindrical. Leaves opposite, estipulate, petiolate, simple, pinnately veined; leaf blade abaxially light green, adaxially deep green and shiny, dark brown when dry, some species variegated with yellow or white markings, thickly leathery to papery, pubescent or glabrous, margin serrate or dentate, rarely entire. Inflorescences terminal, panicu- late or racemose-paniculate. Flowers 4-merous, unisexual, actinomorphic, subtended by 1 or 2 bracteoles. Stamens 4, alternate petals. Ovary inferior, carpel 1, locule 1; ovule 1, pendulous; style short, thick; stigma capitate, straight or curving, slightly 2–4-lobed. Fruit drupes, fleshy, red when mature, black when dry, crowned with persistent calyx teeth, style, and stigma. One genus and ten species: Bhutan, China, N India, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Sikkim, Vietnam; ten species (seven endemic) in China. Aucuba, previously placed in the Cornaceae, has been included in the Garryaceae on the basis of molecular, chemical, and morphological evidence (Bremer et al., Pl. Syst. Evol. 229: 137–169. 2001). Aucuba and Garrya Douglas ex Lindley, the latter genus from Central America (including the Greater Antilles) and W North America, are sister taxa with high support (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, Bot. J. Linn. Soc. 141: 399– 436. 2003). It is here preferred to treat the two genera in separate families: Aucubaceae and Garryaceae. Soong Tzepu. 1990. Aucuba. In: Fang Wenpei & Hu Wenkuang, eds., Fl.

Shade Plant Recommendations for the Pacific Northwest
Landscape East & West | Article SHADE PLANT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST What grows well in the shade? That’s a question we commonly field from our Portland landscaping clients. Here in the Portland metro area, different communities see different weather patterns, different soil compositions, and slightly different growing conditions. What does well in a shady Lake Oswego yard may not survive in a shady backyard in Hillsboro. Landscaping depends on multiple inputs, from soil condition to light patterns. Each yard also has its own microclimates influencing growth. As such, there is no simple answer to the shade question. Every yard has its own unique growing conditions, which may or may not support the requirements of specific shady plants. Speaking with a landscaping expert can give you insight into the type of plants that will thrive in your yard. Landscape East & West has specialists on hand to help you with plant choice. Here are a few considerations that our experts factor into shade species selection. Light patterns—Generally, landscapers categorize plants into several categories of light exposure: Full sun, partial sun, partial shade, and full shade. Full sun: Needs at least six hours of sunlight per day. Partial sun: Requires three to six hours of sun per day. Partial shade: Also needs three to six hours of sun per day, ideally direct morning sun with shade in the afternoon. Full shade: Needs less than three hours of sun per day. Oftentimes, plants’ coloring reflects their shade preferences. White or cream-colored flora does well in shade; gold or purple foliage will need sun.
