Description

Silver Sheen Kohuhu is a fast-growing, elegant evergreen prized for its shimmering, metallic foliage. Its small, oval leaves are a luminous silver-green on the surface with a contrasting dark underside, causing them to catch the light and flutter beautifully in the breeze. The fine black stems add to its sophisticated, wispy appearance. This tall, dense shrub rapidly forms an excellent, light-filtering privacy screen or a striking specimen tree, all while requiring minimal care beyond occasional shaping.

• Shimmering Metallic Foliage: Features small, very thin leaves with a shiny, silver-green surfacethat reflects light, creating a rippling “sheen” effect.

• Fast-Growing & Tall Screen: A vigorous grower that quickly reaches 15-20 ft tall and 6-8 ft wide, perfect for creating a fast privacy hedge or windbreak.

• Light & Airy Texture: The combination of tiny leaves, dark stems, and weeping branch tips gives it an unusually graceful and ethereal look for a large shrub.

• Adaptable & Low Maintenance: Tolerant of a range of conditions, including coastal exposure and drought once established. Requires only occasional pruning to control size.

• Fragrant Spring Flowers: Produces small, maroon, honey-scented flowers in spring, often hidden among the foliage.
