Gold dust aucuba (Aucuba japonica).he plants are dioecious (that is, aucuba shrubs are either male or female). So, to ensure good fruit production, plant mostly females with an occasional male nearby.

Borders & Angles. Like any triangle, the scapula consists of three borders: superior, lateral and medial. The superior border is the shortest and thinnest border of the three. The medial border is a thin border and runs parallel to the vertebral column and is therefore often called the vertebral border.
Vertebral border: Vertebral (medial) border is the longest of the three borders of scapula. It stretches from the medial angle above to the inferior angle below. The vertebral border affords a narrow surface for the insertion of the levator scapulae, rhomboid minor and rhomboid major muscles.ody of the Scapula: The body of the bone has two surfaces, a dorsal and a costal. The former is divided into two fossae by an outstanding process of triangular form, called the spine of scapula. The attached border of this crosses the dorsal surface of the body obliquely in a direction laterally and slightly upwards.
