Aucuba ‘Golden Girl’

In 1993 I crossed Aucuba japonica ‘Nana Rotundifolia’ with A. japonica ‘Crotonifolia’. The resulting cross was a very compact hybrid with short internodes, variegated leaves and large red berries. It was a good plant but even better now because 10 years ago it developed a striking gold sport. It was named ‘Golden Girl’.by Charles Carr, Production Director at Hillier Nurseries

It was taken on our nursery but think the young material may have come from Newey, we now have it as 9cm, 3 lt and a batch coming along in a 7.5 lt pot.  It’s a great variety,
