How to Grow and Care for Coriaria
Feedback
Belonging to the Coriariaceae family, coriaria is a shrub-like genus, requiring a blend of sunlight and part shade, thriving in moderate climate zones. They prefer well-draining loam or sandy soil with a neutral to acidic pH. Regular watering is required ensuring that the soil remains evenly moist. However, overwatering must be avoided. Intermittent trimming keeps the plant compact. A common challenge includes susceptibility to root rot and fungal infections due to overwatering or poor drainage. Coriaria learns towards dormancy during winter, hence it's imperative to considerably reduce watering while ensuring they are not exposed to freezing temperatures. Spring and Summer demand thorough watering and some exposure to sunlight for blooming.

8 most common species：
French sumac
French sumac is an ornamental plant with berries similar in appearance to the common blackberry. However, the two must not be confused as french sumac's berries are highly poisonous. This plant has a vital role in the prevention of soil erosion in its native Mediterranean habitat. French sumac's leaves have a high tannin content, so the plant has been cultivated for use in tans and dyes.
New Zealand wineberry
New Zealand wineberry is a toxic shrub that has the ability to fix nitrogen. The entire plant is poisonous, except for its petals. It grows in moist soil, requiring adequate sunlight and it can tolerate low temperatures. The deciduous shrub flowers in the summer.
Tanner's tree
Tanner's tree is a shrub endemic to the Himalayas, where it's commonly found in the foothills. It blooms with beautiful yellow flowers in the spring and produces a berry-like red fruit. Although it is often called "Tanner's tree," this plant is not a tree, but a larger shrub. Be cautious with tanner's tree as most parts of the plant are poisonous.
Feathery tutu
Feathery tutu is a delicate flora with feathery foliage that gives it a soft, plumose appearance. Its light, airy structure is ideal for thriving in sunny, well-drained habitats. The plant displays small, subtle flowers that contribute to its understated elegance. Adapted to draw in specific pollinators, feathery tutu's unique morphology is a testament to its niche adaptation within its ecosystem.
Coriaria terminalis
Coriaria terminalis is grown ornamentally because it has several seasons of interest with leaves that turn from green to red in fall and peculiar, eye-catching clusters of yellow fruit. It is deer-resistant and grows well in full sun or part-shade conditions that resemble those of its native forest margins. Note that all parts of this plant should be treated as toxic to humans.
Coriaria pteridoides
Coriaria pteridoides is a unique perennial herb that resembles ferns due to its pinnately compound leaves which are arranged in a ladder-like fashion. This plant thrives in forest underbrush, capitalizing on dappled sunlight. Its green to reddish stems and inconspicuous, small greenish flowers are key identification markers. Adapted to moderate climates, it contributes to the understory's diversity with its fern-like appearance.
Coriaria japonica
Coriaria japonica is a deciduous shrub native to Japan, notable for its layered, feather-like leaves and small purple flowers. These flowers give way to fleshy fruits, intriguing to both humans and wildlife. Thriving in well-drained soils, coriaria japonica's adaptability allows it to flourish under forest canopies, leveraging dappled sunlight to sustain its growth throughout the seasons.
Small-leaved tutu
Small-leaved tutu is a deciduous shrub with a slender form, featuring narrow, tapered leaves and clusters of tiny, inconspicuous greenish flowers. It thrives in well-drained soils and open woodlands, where its roots can spread extensively. Unique for its tolerance to low fertility, small-leaved tutu contributes to ecosystem diversity by supporting specialized pollinators.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
