Description

The 'Graberi' is a shrub that quickly reaches 10'-12' tall and 8'-10' wide, with an upright habit. It has bright green, glossy leaves. Small white, fragrant flowers bloom in spring. It bears clusters of bright red berries in the fall that last well into the winter season. It prefers full sun and occasional watering once it's established. This shrub makes an attractive espalier.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
