This is the 'Cristobal' cultivar, available through San Marcos Growers Wholesale Nursery in Santa Barbara. For me, this plant has performed best with dappled shade and moist soils, with either an eastern or northern exposure, and protection from winds. When I had this same plant growing in a raised planter below a Quercus agrifolia tree, the faster drainage and drying out between waterings seemed to leave it more vulnerable to being attacked by scale. Since I replanted it into my garden with a north exposure and little winter sun, it has been much healthier, and I was able to completely eliminate the scale problem
