The Midweek Program: Aucuba Matata

The Midweek Program at the JC Raulston Arboretum is a free educational program broadcast live over Zoom every Wednesday at 3 p.m. Eastern Time and then made publicly available on our YouTube Channel. Free online program. Register at jcra.ncsu.edu/midweek. JC Raulston Arboretum, Raleigh.

For reasons we may never fully understand, our Director Mark has a deep and enduring love for aucubas. Like, a lot. But honestly? He might be onto something. In this episode of the Midweek Program, Mark makes his case for this tough, evergreen shrub that’s so much more than the speckled green filler plant you think you know.
