'Exburiensis' is an excellent choice for a wildlife-friendly garden. This dense, evergreen shrub boasts arching branches that can withstand coastal and moderate exposure conditions once established. In May-June, it bursts into clusters of white blossoms, followed by a profusion of long-lasting yellow/apricot berries with a charming pink blush as winter sets in, and its lance-shaped leaves offer a unique blue-green tint.

After flowering in late spring or early summer, lightly cut back any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. In autumn trim back lightly any branches that obscure the display of fruit.
