Latin Name:  Berberidopsis corallina
Common Name:  Coral plant
Family:  Flacourtiaceae
Author:  Hook. f.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  5   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Deep, moist ravines in woodlands within the coastal belt[11, 200]. This species is quite possibly extinct in the wild[11].

Propagation Notes: Seed - best sown in a warm greenhouse in early spring. The seed can take 12 months or more to germinate and there is usually a poor germination rate[247]. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, prck them out into individual pots. Grow them on a shady part of the greenhouse for at least their first winter and then plant them out in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frost. Consider giving the plant some protection from the cold for their first winter or two outdoors. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, July/August in a frame[200]. Layering.
