Why Japanese Gold Dust Aucuba Shrubs?
Fast-growing, long-lived foliage and unbelievable variegation set the Japanese Gold Dust Aucuba apart, along with rich green growth and pops of gleaming gold. Plus, variegated leaves offer month-to-month visual interest…from gilded tones to dark green and pops of yellow with red berries. Basically, the shining Japanese Gold Dust is like a gem, living up to its name with none of the work.
And there’s nothing like its classic form. This enduring variety is poised to grow quickly, easily, for years to come – season over season. That means you get timeless, almost-weeping growth in your own landscape in no time. Even better? Once established, it’s drought-tolerant, too. When it comes to the Japanese Gold Dust, virtually zero upkeep is required.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: First, select a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade – any area with about 4 to 6 hours of sunlight should suffice. When you’re ready to plant, dig a hole that’s about three times the width of your plant’s root ball, ensure the Laurel is placed away from any major structures, and place the tree. Finally, backfill the soil and water your tree to settle its roots.2. Watering: Once established, your Aucuba Laurel is drought tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule for the first few growing seasons. Water about once weekly or check the surrounding soil for your Aucuba…if the surrounding soil is dry about 2 or 3 inches down, it’s time to water.
3. Fertilizing: The Laurel grows fairly quickly and easily, so fertilizer is generally not required.
