heat or cold. If allowed to grow unpruned

MAYTEN TREE 
Maytenus boaria. A charming large shrub 
or small tree that, because of its graceful 
drooping habit, and the dense shining char- 
acteristics of its small foliage, is greatly 
prized for planting against tall walls. An ex- 
cellent small tree for the parking, too. Sun. 
Hardy. 12-15 ft. 5-gal., $3.75.
