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 8 years ago it developed a striking gold sport and this is the clone that has been named ‘Golden Girl’.
