| Propagate aucuba from fast growing stem cuttings in spring or semiripe cuttings in summer. |
| A conspicuous example of a dioecious plant is the common aucuba, of which for years only the female plant was known in Britain. |
| Probably the best-known aucuba, has dark green glossy leaves spotted with yellow. |
| Good candidates are aucuba, barberry, forsythia, holly, honey-suckle, hydrangea, spirraea, weigela and even roses. |
| So plant some specimens which the birds will leave alone, such as Skimmia, Aucuba and the guelder rose, which tend to be their least favourites. |
| The last plant generally included in this order is aucuba japonica, though it is probable this plant belongs to Cornace. |
