Standing strong and tall enough to create an amazingly high hedge around your home, the Cleyera Japonica is a shrub you need only if you have the room for it. Reaching heights of 10-15 feet tall with an 8-10 foot spread, this large broadleaf evergreen shrub certainly isn’t intended for small areas of any kind. Best grown in cool, moist, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade, as long as you keep these lovely shrubs out of strong, direct wind, they’re incredibly low maintenance, so they’ll look great and grow to whatever height you need, reaching up to 30 feet tall in their natural habitat. Boasting charming little white flowers upon blooming during the late Spring to early Summer, you won’t find a lovelier, more charming choice of shrub to create your hedge with anywhere else.

do they lose their leaves in zone 7
Cleyera japonica, also known as Japanese cleyera, is an evergreen shrub, which means it typically retains its leaves year-round, even in USDA Zone 7. However, in Zone 7, where winters can be cooler, it might experience some leaf drop, particularly if it is stressed by extreme weather conditions like an unusually cold winter or sudden temperature changes.
If your Cleyera japonica is losing leaves in Zone 7, it could be due to:
-
Cold Stress: While it can handle cooler temperatures, a sudden drop in temperature or an unusually harsh winter can cause leaf drop.
-
Watering Issues: Both overwatering and underwatering can stress the plant and cause leaf drop.
-
Pests/Diseases: In some cases, pests or diseases can cause leaf loss.
-
Transplant Shock: If the plant was recently moved or replanted, it might lose some leaves as it adjusts to its new environment.
If the leaf loss is moderate and the plant otherwise looks healthy, it will likely recover. However, if the leaf drop is severe or accompanied by other symptoms, you might need to investigate further.
