| Botanical Name | Ternstroemia gymnanthera |
| Description | A versatile and dependable evergreen shrub for the Willis and Houston metro area. Prized for its thick, leathery, glossy foliage that emerges with a bronze tint before maturing to deep green. It is a slow-to-moderate grower that excels as a formal hedge or foundation plant. While adaptable, it requires well-drained soil; in heavy Houston clay, planting in a raised bed is essential to prevent root rot. |
| Exposure | Partial shade to shade (Requires protection from the harsh afternoon sun in Texas) |
| Height x Width | 8-10 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture but is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering in poorly drained sites. |
| Zones | 7 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage lush new growth. |
| Pruning | Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain a desired shape or size. Responds well to shearing for formal hedges. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
