Rating for this plant:
Truly gorgeous compact shrub. Nice for hedges and privacy. Very commonly found with green/yellow variegated leaves. It grows quickly in full sun and needs frequent pruning or it will grow out of control. This species is tolerant of salt environments, growing well near the shore. The name Japanese Spindle derives from the use of its wood in traditional weaving techniques.
