Japanese Blueberry Shrub

Japanese Blueberry Shrub

Botanical Name: Elaeocarpus decipiens

Native to Japan, the Japanese Blueberry Tree is a fast grower that needs plenty of room in the landscape. It exhibits a dense growth habit, multiple branching with an upright form. It isn’t terribly cold hardy, but will survive south of Austin if mulch in the winters.

New leaves emerge bronze, turning bright green before maturing dark green. Although evergreen, the older leaves will turn red and fall in the winter. Butterflies are easily attracted to the slightly fragrant greenish-white flowers that appear early in the summer, five-petaled and urn-shaped in racemes. Blue-black olive fruits mature in the fall, and are somewhat messy if planted near walkways.

Blueberry tree prefers well-drained alkaline soils. It responds very well to pruning and is versatile when shaped into a topiary or tree form.

Jasmine, Primrose

Botanical Name: Jasminum mesnyi

Often used on highway medians, Primrose Jasmine is a fast growing, drought tolerant, and all-around tough shrub that needs its space in the landscape.   It features an open sprawling habit, often growing wider than tall. When grown along fence lines and walls, it grows somewhat vine like, reaching greater heights.

The green stems are square instead of round like most plants, with dark green glossy leaves divided into three leaflets. Primrose is best pruned in the winter – not only for removal of old foliage, but blooms will only appear on new growth. In the early spring the shrub is covered in slightly-fragrant yellow semi-double blooms that persist for a few weeks, sporadically until fall thereafter.

The branches grow up to lengths of eight feet on average, and drape gracefully around the shrub to form a large thick mound. In moist and fertile areas, branch tips touching the ground will sprout roots, self propagating the shrub to even greater widths. Smaller landscapes will require Primose to be pruned regularly, whereas in large open areas it’s an excellent massing, border, or even erosion controller.
