Tough \u003cbr\u003eleathery leaves along the branches with clusters of sticky sour fruits. \u003cbr\u003eLittle to no water, but ok with more. Good for fill, slopes, hedges\/screen, \u003cbr\u003eand wildlife. Best grown 5-10 miles from coast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRhus integrifolia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- is a small tree or shrub and evergreen \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- blooms from Feb–May with pink flowers\/coral fruit \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- grows 3' to 30' high, 3'-20' wide \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- does best with full sun to part shade; various sandy loams preferred \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- is known to tolerate temperatures down to 25°F\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen germinating seed, nick seeds and sow outside with rainy weather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFruit - raw or cooked. The fruit is covered with a pleasant acid-tasting \u003cbr\u003eexudation that can be sucked. The fruit is small, up to 10mm in diameter, \u003cbr\u003ewith very little flesh, but it is produced in fairly large panicles and \u003cbr\u003eso is easily harvested. When soaked for 10 - 30 minutes in hot or cold\u003cbr\u003e water it makes a very refreshing lemonade-like drink (without any fizz \u003cbr\u003eof course). The mixture should not be boiled since this will release \u003cbr\u003etannic acids and make the drink astringent.The leaves have been chewed \u003cbr\u003eto assuage thirst.The roasted fruit is a coffee substitute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeed - best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe. Pre-soak the seed \u003cbr\u003efor 24 hours in hot water (starting at a temperature of 80 - 90c and \u003cbr\u003eallowing it to cool) prior to sowing in order to leach out any germination \u003cbr\u003einhibitors. This soak water can be drunk and has a delicious lemon-flavour. \u003cbr\u003eThe stored seed also needs hot water treatment and can be sown in early \u003cbr\u003espring in a cold frame[14]. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when \u003cbr\u003ethey are large enough to handle. It might be wise to grow the plants on in \u003cbr\u003epots for a few years before planting out Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 10cm \u003cbr\u003ewith a heel, July\/August in a frame. Root cuttings 4cm long taken in December \u003cbr\u003eand potted up vertically in a greenhouse.
