Coprosma 'Beatson's Gold' - This is a very nice evergreen shrub with delicate wiry stems clothed in tiny gold and green leaves. It usually grows to about 4 feet, but is reportedly capable to be trained into almost tree-like proportions given favorable conditions. Protect from extreme cold <15. It is suitable for most soils with medium irrigation and takes full sun. Tolerates seaside planting. Some list this as a hybrid between Coprosma acerosa and C. repens but Lawrence Metcalf in "The Zealand Trees and Shrubs" speculates that it may be a Coprosma areolata hybrid.
The information about Coprosma 'Beatson's Gold' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
Please note that after 46 years in business, San Marcos Growers will be discontinuing nursery operations by the end of 2025 and the property will be developed for affordable housing.
