Aucuba japonica 'Mr Goldstrike'
Aucuba japonica 'Mr Goldstrike' is a bold evergreen shrub with a dense, rounded habit and striking foliage. Its large, glossy leaves are heavily variegated in golden yellow and green, creating a bright splash of colour that stands out in shaded areas of the garden. A male variety, it does not produce berries but can serve as a pollinator for female Aucuba plants.
Reliable and easy to grow, ‘Mr Goldstrike’ thrives in shade or partial shade and is tolerant of a wide range of soils. With its year-round colour, it is particularly effective as a background shrub, in mixed borders, or as a striking specimen for shady courtyards. Its tough and low-maintenance nature makes it an excellent choice for urban gardens and difficult sites.
