Cleyera

Cleyera is valued for its dense, glossy green foliage complemented by attractive bronze-toned new growth that adds subtle seasonal contrast. Its naturally upright, rounded form creates a structured and polished appearance, making it ideal for screens, hedges, and foundation plantings. The foliage maintains a rich, consistent color throughout the year, contributing to a strong evergreen presence in the landscape. Reaching about 8 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide at maturity, this shrub develops a full, balanced shape that enhances both privacy and visual appeal. Its refined texture and dependable form make it a versatile choice for a wide range of planting designs.
