Description

Vaquelinia californica (Arizona Rosewood) is an exceptionally drought tolerant shrub native to Arizona, Baja California, and northern Mexico. It is highly versatile in garden design and makes a great choice for a natural privacy screen, windbreak, or hedge due to its dense foliage. Grow V. californica in containers or as a specimen plant to add architectural interest to your xeriscape.

Vaquelinia californica offers significant benefits to local wildlife. Clusters of fragrant spring flowers invite bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects to your yard year after year. Numerous bird species are sustained by the late season berries, and dense foliage provides excellent cover and nesting sites year-round.

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. While highly drought-tolerant once established, providing occasional deep watering can enhance growth. This slow-growing shrub can reach heights of up to 20 feet tall, though it is easily maintained at 8-10 feet tall.
