Cocculus laurifolius

Cocculus laurifolius

An exotic evergreen shrub somewhat resembling a Cinnamon tree or other lauraceae but actually a member of the menispermaceae. The leaves are very glossy and elliptical with 3 prominent veins. Not seen flowers yet but they’ll be very small and pale and followed by black fruits. 

Cocculus laurifolius
A highly ornamental species – maybe suitable for a very sheltered site in milder areas – otherwise best brought inside for the winter.
£16
