A superb, unusual, evergreen, large shrub with fairly sizable Rhododendron-like foliage, pale beneath and with red petioles. Easy and hardy in any good soil, acid or alkaline, in sun or shade. Male flowers, when in bud, look a bit like Mulberries and females bear attractive fruit. An aristocratic foliage plant of fine form, with leaves emerging in spring a rather gorgeous subtly bronzed golden-green. Can be nipped by late spring frost, but always reshoots. Sometimes named D. himalense var. macropodum.
