Ceanothus megacarpus, Bigpod Ceanothus
Ceanothus megacarpus, Bigpod Ceanothus
An evergreen shrub endemic to the Central Coast and Channel Islands. It grows up to thirteen feet tall. White flowers bloom winter through spring. This plant is great for hedges, screens, shrubs, or can be trained to grow into a small tree. This ceaonthus produces fruit that is large and bumpy, small mammals and insects eat the berries.
Pinch and lightly prune in spring after flowering. You can remove flower clusters right after blooming to encourage a denser growth habit. If given too much water it will be short lived. You shouldn’t cut into any new growth that is larger around than a pencil. Larger cuts heal slowly and become infected with apricot dieback fungus, fungal spores are spread by rain.
An easy California Native to grow in the Los Angeles area.
