I adore this tree (as do the birds) absolutely beautiful berries (late Fall here). Year round it looks fantastic, but the berries are my favorite - the robins love them, too.

This is a very elegant small tree. The canopy is evergreen with a variegated appearance and the trunk is a striking reddish brown. It tolerates both lawn watering and drought. Always important in California, it is resistant to oak-root fungus. What's not to like?
