Garrya elliptica
Silk Tassel Bush, Feverbush, Quinine bush, Bear brush
Bush received with some black spots on the leaves upon arrival (slight concern), but after 1 year in the ground, it is thriving and producing new shoots. Delighted.

Description
Garrya elliptica is recognisable by its evergreen foliage, which is dark green on top, grey and fuzzy underneath. Its ornamental interest increases in the middle of winter with the arrival of long pendulous catkins, which measure 20 cm to 25 cm (7.9 in to 9.8 in) long.
Originally from the west coast of the United States, it is hardy down to -12° C (10.4° F). However, it must be well protected from cold winds. Be vigilant regarding heavy frosts. Garrya elliptica adapts very well to an oceanic climate as it tolerates sea sprays very well. It will also adapt very well to a warmer urban environment that is better protected from cold winds.
To add interest to the garden, plant this bush in isolation or in free hedges in order to fully enjoy its atypical flowering.
This is a dioecious species: male and female flowers are not on the same plant. The male individual bears the attractive drooping catkins while the female plant bears shorter and erect cones which do not have the same visual effect.

Planting and care
Choose a suitable location for your Garrya elliptica as it will not tolerate being transplanted. It prefers a sunny spot but sheltered from cold winter winds. It is advisable to add sand to the planting hole. Water in case of severe drought during the first summer. Do not prune your bush excessively, as it will affect its flowering. You can optionally remove dead wood and some branches in April to rebalance the shape.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
