Plant height — Skimmia japonica Thunb.

Skimmia japonica Thunb.

Plant height is a key parameter of the habit of the slow-growing Skimmia japonica, which determines the strategy for planting and caring for the plant.

In the reference 4 varieties crop Japanese skimmia, where this is mentioned in the description.

Skimmia japonica is characterized by target height indicators reached at maturity after ten or more years. Compact, low-growing forms usually have a height of 40–70 cm, standard varieties reach 1.0–1.5 m, and the maximum values for garden forms are 1.8–2.0 m.

The height trait is closely linked to the slow growth rate of the plant, averaging 10–20 cm per year. Since pruning to control height can negatively affect flowering and fruiting due to the formation of flower buds at the tips of the shoots, selecting a variety with suitable dimensions is paramount.
