Description

'Eve Case' Coffeeberry is a compact form of the California coffeeberry. It remains 4-8 ft. tall and is spread out evenly. It develops larger berries than the California coffeeberry, starting out green, then turning red, and then black in fall. Birds love the berries. 'Eve Case' prefers full sun or shade, is drought and ocean spray tolerant. Spring flowers are insignificant. A great shrub for a hedge.
