'Little Sur' is a  very neat and compact evergreen Coffeeberry selection. It is ideally suited to smaller gardens since it stays under 4'h and 3-4' spread. It has rich  dark green foliage year round  with small  white flowers in spring and eye-catching berries in the fall. The large berries start out green  then turn purple and finally black. Use this as a small hedge  under oaks  or as a feature shrub in a small garden or medium height accent shrub in a larger garden. It is naturally suited to coastal areas and most experts recommend some partial shade inland. However  it  has done well for us in full sun at our inland site. As with the regular Coffeeberry  this shrub is a hub for birds who feast on the berries in fall.Horticultural selection R. californica: origin = cuttings (1985) Little Sur River mouth  central coast  Monterey Co.; intro Tree of Life Nursery 1987
