A beautiful and underutilized west coast native, California Coffeeberry grows throughout California and parts of Southern Oregon. Makes a wonderful evergreen screen or informal hedge, but perhaps it is most valuable to the pollinators. Though the blooms are not particularly showy, the bees prefer the California Coffeeberry’s flowers over almost anything else when it’s in bloom. Though the fruits and seeds look loosely similar to coffee cherries, it certainly wouldn’t make a good espresso and can cause an upset stomach if eaten.
