Rhamnus purshiana - Cascara
Description |
Cascara's deeply veined leaves are an eye-catching addition to the landscape. Generally clustered at the end of branches, deep green leaves provide a backdrop for small clusters of tiny flowers in spring. The fruit that follows is enticing to birds and small mammals. Drought tolerant once established is a feature that makes cascara a good choice for your water-wise woodland garden. |
