Skimmia Japonica ‘Redruth’ (female)

This dense, dome-shaped evergreen shrub cultivar is distinguished by its larger, deep-green leathery leaves and berries compared to the species. It produces small, fragrant white flowers (6mm or ¼in) from red buds, forming panicles up to 8cm (3in) long, followed by red fruit. This female clone requires a male skimmia nearby for reliable berry production.
