Aucuba 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.
