Garrya elliptica 'James Ro<strong>of</strong>' co<strong>as</strong>t silkt<strong>as</strong>sel<br />
Evergreen shrub, native along the co<strong>as</strong>t ranges <strong>of</strong> California and Oregon, multi-stemmed and eventually<br />
reaching 8-10 ft tall and wide. The leaves are shiny, matte green above -- pale and woolly beneath, the edges<br />
widely toothed and somewhat wavy or rolling. In winter to early spring, long, purple-gray catkins make a<br />
great show hanging from the branches. A very tough plant, excellent <strong>as</strong> a screen or single specimen. Accepts<br />
sun on the co<strong>as</strong>t to part shade inland. Drought tolerant but also accepts summer water where well drained. A<br />
wonderful plant for the co<strong>as</strong>t. Frost hardy in <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 7.<br />
