| Botanical Name | Rhaphiolepis x 'Coppertone' |
| Description | A unique hybrid between a Loquat and an Indian Hawthorn, 'Coppertone'™ is a favorite in the Willis and Houston metro area for its tough nature and ornamental appeal. It is prized for its leathery evergreen foliage that emerges in a brilliant coppery-bronze before maturing to deep green. While it can reach the size of a small tree, it is easily maintained as a large shrub or privacy screen. To ensure success in local clay, plant in well-drained soil or a raised bed. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade (Full sun promotes the best coppery new growth) |
| Height x Width | 15-20 ft. Tall x 15-20 ft. Wide (Can be pruned smaller) |
| Water | Moderate; relatively drought-tolerant once established but needs regular watering during dry spells in the Houston summer. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to fuel the spring bloom and new foliage growth. |
| Pruning | Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to shape into a hedge, screen, or multi-trunk small tree. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
