	Skimmia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skimmia is a genus of four species of evergreen shrubs and small trees in the Rue family, Rutaceae, all native to warm temperate regions of Asia.
		Skimmias are fed on by Aphids, the Horse Chestnut Scale, the Garden Leafhopper, and the Southern Red Mite.
		Skimmias are grown as garden plants for their foliage, flowers, and showy red fruits.

		Skimmia is one of those plants that has a neat compact habit-of-growth and seldom needs pruning of any kind.

	Skimmia
		Skimmia is another of the many genera native to Asia.
		Skimmia is dioecious: there are male plants and female plants, and both are required to set seed.
		Whichever Skimmia you choose, you will be rewarded with an attractive, truly evergreen shrub that will shine in the late winter and hold its attractive flowers all season while it provides a green backdrop for the more exuberant plants of spring and summer.

	Skimmia - UBC Botanical Garden Forums
		Skimmia japonica easily reaches 2m under shade in the Vancouver area.
		Skimmia can make a great hedge for a while, but tends to drop lower leaves under drought stress.
		If one wanted to see berries, a female hedge would need a robust male in close proximity to supply sufficient pollen, however, this is no guarantee of fruit set, as skimmia are renowned for their early flowers (there are seldom adequate pollinators available at this time of year).

		February 4th, 2003, 09:00 AM Skimmia japonica easily reaches 2m under shade in the Vancouver area.
		The interesting thing is that there are question marks accompanying some of those references, so it seems as if the hardiness of Skimmia hasn't been definitively tested yet.
		If a foreign plant is hardy enough and you are in a forested portion it may be quite tractable, otherwise not.
