The hopbush is the fine, glossy shrub of the dry banks, and the small, greenish flowers open in the fine clusters among the sticky leaves. The evergreen or semi-evergreen, dioecious shrub carries the narrow, oblong, glossy, sticky leaves and the small, greenish-yellow flowers in the fine clusters through the spring, to be followed by the fine, papery, winged fruits, one of the fine, quiet sights of the dry bank. The shrub is a fine, generous presence of the coastal and the dry garden, and it is a shrub of the open, sunny, sharp-draining ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The hopbush is a useful subject of the plant science, and the winged fruits keep showing up in the work on the dry-land shrubs. The way the sticky leaves and the papery, winged fruits carry the seeds on the wind has been examined closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the wind-dispersed shrubs, the dry-land plants and the members of the soapberry family. The narrow, glossy leaves and the fine, papery fruits have also made it a fine study shrub, and the hopbush is a regular subject of the work on the winged fruits of the dry world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The hopbush is a fine, generous shrub of the dry bank and the coastal garden. The fine, papery, winged fruits hold the seeds of the wind through the warm season, one of the fine, quiet sights of the dry bank, and the glossy, sticky leaves give the fine, green sheen of the shrub through the year. The shrub stands the heat, the drought, the wind and the salt air with the ease, and it is one of the fine choices for the dry bank, the coastal hedge and the erosion-control planting. It has been written about in the horticultural and the ecological papers for the winged fruits and the dry, tough ways, and it is a fine, generous shrub of the open, sunny, sharp-draining garden.

Give the young shrub the open, sunny spot and the sharp-draining soil, and it will take the dry season in the stride.

Give the young shrub the open, sunny spot and the sharp-draining soil, and it will take the dry season in the stride.

To grow the hopbush from seed, sow the small, black seeds just below the surface of a tray of coarse seed compost, keep the tray in a bright, open spot and water gently, then set the young plants out in the open ground. The seedlings show themselves within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun and the sharp-draining ground, the winged fruits will hold through the warm season.
