After planting, our specimen just sat there, looking OK but not doing much for a full year. So I was pleased to see new growth when June came around again.

Common name mountain torchwood; Sierra Madre torchwood Family rutaceae Life cycle shrub/tree Flowers white Size 6-10' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes drought tolerant Dense upright-growing evergreen shrub whose white flowers give way to black berries in fall. Reportedly hardy to about 20°F.

Even winters with not-too-severe freezes kill the top growth; here it is returning from the base in early April

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: back fence border
