Garrya elliptica ‘James Roof’ is an evergreen, broadleaf shrub with an upright, dense, rounded, and arching habit and featuring, long greenish-white to silvery-gray hanging catkins and wavy, glossy, dark gray-green leaves with reddish-brown stems. It is a male clone and does not produce fruit. Uses include privacy screen, clipped hedge, accent specimen, espalier. Excellent for seacoast landscapes. Prefers full sun near the coast; appreciates partial or afternoon shade in warmer inland valleys. It adapts to well-drained sand, loam, or clay, provided it does not sit in standing water. Moderate water use; low use once established. It does well with dry shade or no summer water near the coast, but benefits from regular drainage. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Fire-resistant when maintained. Cold hardy to 0°F.
