Aucuba japonica Daisukes Tiger Polianthes thanks to nurseryman Ed CarmanAucuba japonica 'Daisuke's Tiger' is a selection of Japanese laurel from Japan's Daisuke Muramatsu, introduced to the US by plantsman Barry Yinger in 2009. This standout selection has foliage that boasts a concentration of dense yellow spots that with age migrates toward the edge of the leaf, leaving far fewer spots on the interior of the leaf a truly unique look in aucubas that takes several years to mature in the garden.
