 Maureen "Mo" Gilmer
In Mary Parson's 1902 book on California natives, she describes unique holiday decorating in the West: "Venders mix the berries with the prickly foliage of the live oak to make them seem more like holly." Clearly, the native oaks and this toyon are the perfect pair for consummately Western holiday decor.

Toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia) is a common perennial shrub native to southern California, USA.
It is the sole species of Heteromeles, but is closely related to the Asian genus Photinia, in which it is included by some botanists (it was originally described by Lindley as Photinia arbutifolia).
It survives on little water, making it suitable for xeriscape gardening, and is less of a fire hazard than some chaparral plants.

 About the Toyon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Seed from this latter discovery was also sent to England where it soon became a popular garden subject, and is called maybush or mayblossom because of its resemblance to the hawthorn.
Because of this resemblance botanists put it in the genus Crataegus, then later determined it to be related to Photinia, but finally put it into a seperate genus of its own, Heteromeles.
Few native shrubs are so well known, so typical of our vast foothill regions, so important to landscaping in recent years, nor have many had its interesting history.
