Rhus
integrifolia * Lemonade Berry |
| California native plants don't often come with dark glossy green
leaves and a full profile. Rhus integrifolia gets to 4-5 feet tall and can spread to
15 or more feet across. Lemonade Berry grows on the slopes in the
first half mile from the coast. The
berries were once steeped in water to make a lemon flavored drink. I like
to use Rhus integrifolia for the foliage but the flowers put on quite a show as well.
Lemonade Berry performs fairly well
as a hedge. It grows
quite well in the shade of oaks and needs no additional water in the Coastal
area.
