Sawtoothed Japanese Aucuba (Aucuba japonica 'Serratifolia')

Sawtoothed Japanese Aucuba is a shade-loving evergreen shrub that brings a clean, deep green look to the parts of the landscape where many plants struggle. The glossy foliage stays attractive year-round, giving foundation beds and sheltered borders a more finished, intentional feel. It is a strong option for low-light areas where you want dependable structure without a fussy routine. With consistent moisture while it establishes and decent drainage, it settles into an easy, long-term backbone shrub for shade.

Distinctive Features

This cultivar is valued for long, dark green, leathery leaves with sharply serrated edges that add texture and definition in shaded plantings. The overall habit is dense and rounded, creating a substantial evergreen presence that holds its shape well with minimal pruning. Flowers are small and not showy, but plants can produce bright red berries in fall and winter when a compatible male aucuba is nearby for pollination. The foliage is the main show, offering a polished look that stays steady through every season.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Part shade to shade, with protection from hot afternoon sun for best leaf quality.
  • Soil: Moist, well-drained soil with organic matter, and avoid sites that stay waterlogged.
  • Water: Moderate, keep evenly moist during establishment, then water during extended dry periods.
  • USDA Zones: 6 to 10.
  • Exposure: Best in sheltered locations out of harsh winter wind and intense reflected heat.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use one plant as a foliage focal point in shade where the bold serrated leaves can stand out year-round.
  • Foundation Planting: Add dependable evergreen structure along shaded foundations where other shrubs can look thin or stressed.
  • Shade Borders: Plant under open trees and along woodland edges to create a steady green backbone behind perennials.
  • Screening: Use in sheltered shade as a dense screen where privacy is needed without relying on sun-loving hedges.
  • Evergreen Massing: Group several plants to create a fuller, continuous evergreen block that reads cleanly in low light.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Prune in early spring as needed to shape and remove any winter-damaged stems.
  • Mulching: Mulch the root zone to conserve moisture and buffer temperature swings, keeping mulch a few inches off the stems.
  • Watering: Water deeply during drought, especially in the first couple of seasons and in drier shade.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly in spring if growth is weak, using a balanced slow-release fertilizer according to label directions.
  • Berry Set: Plant a male aucuba nearby if you want consistent red berry production in fall and winter.

Why Choose Sawtoothed Japanese Aucuba?

  • Shade Reliability: Performs well in part shade to shade, including tough north-facing sites.
  • Evergreen Structure: Dense, glossy foliage keeps borders and foundations looking finished all year.
  • Textured Leaves: Sharply serrated foliage adds a more detailed look than many broadleaf evergreens.
  • Possible Winter Berries: Can produce bright red fruit with a male pollinator nearby for extra seasonal interest.
  • Simple Routine: Thrives with a protected site, steady moisture, and basic seasonal cleanup.

If you need an evergreen that performs in shade and still looks clean and intentional, Sawtoothed Japanese Aucuba is a dependable choice. Give it a protected site, well-drained soil, and consistent moisture while it establishes, and it will hold a dense, glossy look with minimal effort. Use it as a single anchor in a dark corner or repeat it to create a calmer, more continuous planting. Over time, it becomes a steady backbone shrub that keeps shaded areas looking polished year-round.

Best battery power lights on the market
These light are great, easy to use just pull apart then wrap around the umbrella pole, holds on securely where you want it, provides 3 light setting, bright light. When done with the lights either turn them off or remove the batteries and store them away for the next time. Set of 2 lights. Great buy.

Good, but use batteries
These work good, very bright lights. But I wish I would have gotten the solar ones. These take batteries and I don't want to keep buying batteries.

Different than most on the market worth a try!
I’ve tried a lot of pimple patches and these actually feel different from most of the ones on the market because of the sulfur/OptiMSM ingredient combination. They don’t just cover the spot — they seem to really help bring everything to the surface faster. I had one deep pimple that had been under my skin for so long I honestly started wondering if it was just a scar at that point, and this patch finally helped it come out and heal. The patches are super thin and blend into the skin really well, so they’re easy to wear during the day or overnight. They stick well without feeling harsh on my skin, and I also tried them on my tween sons, who definitely need to wash their noses better sometimes, and they seemed to work really well on their softer skin too without causing irritation. I also love the little travel pouch included. Definitely one of the more effective acne patches I’ve used.
