Perfect for homeowners looking to make a statement, Heteromeles arbutifolia 'Davis Gold' is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, making it an ideal choice for busy individuals who still want their garden to look spectacular. 'Davis Gold' is a selection of the California native Toyon, but has golden-yellow berries instead of the typical red berries.
Like the species, Davis Gold Toyon is a large, upright, bushy evergreen shrub with thick leathery, glossy dark green leaves edged with serrated margins. The pea-sized golden berries appear in late fall after the summer flowers. Not only does this shrub offer beauty and ease of care, but it also attracts birds and butterflies, bringing life and movement to your yard. Imagine enjoying the cheerful chirping of birds while relaxing in your own outdoor oasis.
Once established, Davis Gold Toyon is extremely drought tolerant and can grow 6-10 feet tall, making it ideal for use as a privacy screen or tall border. You can also prune to shape it into a small tree or smaller-sized shrub. Additionally, its deep roots help stabilize slopes and fight erosion.
Whether you're looking to enhance your curb appeal or create a cozy retreat in your backyard, Heteromeles arbutifolia Davis Gold is sure to impress. This versatile California native shrub attracts wildlife and adds beauty to any garden.
How large does Davis Gold Toyon grow?
It typically reaches about 10 to 15 feet tall and spreads roughly 8 feet wide when grown as a shrub; under ideal conditions it may grow taller and more tree-like.
What kind of light does it prefer?
Full sun to part shade is ideal. It thrives in full sun, but tolerates light shade without major decline in appearance.
What type of soil and drainage does it need?
Well-draining soil is essential. It tolerates sandy, loamy or even clay soils as long as drainage is good and water doesn’t stay around the roots.
How should I water and maintain it?
Water regularly during the first year to establish roots, then transition to moderate watering, once established it is drought tolerant. Light pruning after flowering/before fruit sets will help maintain shape and encourage berry production.
