Garrya

Garrya - G. Elliptica is a fine Californian Evergreen, and beautiful winter-flowering shrub. In mild winters it begins to flower as early as December, and bears among handsome deep green leaves gracefully drooping tufts of pale green catkins, which, if cut with the twigs, endure a long time in vases, and are welcome in winter. Though often grown on walls, it is hardy and makes a dense bush, 5 to 8-10 feet high. In cold districts it is well to give it shelter, but in the south and west it does not require this. There are male and female forms, the most elegant being the pollen-bearing plant. Killed at Gavetye, we had to give it up as a bush in the orchard.
