A small, rounded deciduous tree with glossy, deeply lobed leaves and flat sprays of cream flowers, followed by dark red berries in autumn.

Excellent for wildlife. Early flowers for insects, fruits good for birds. Thorny cover for nesting and roosting birds.

Growing Conditions:
Grows well in most soil conditions, positioned in full sun or partial shade.

Value To Wildlife:
The leaves provide a food source to moth caterpillars including the case-bearer moth, while the flowers attract bee and the berries are eaten by many birds and wildlife.

Important Note:
This is a deciduous tree and so will shed its leaves in autumn, in order to protect itself from the cold winter weather. Come spring, it’ll burst back into bud and begin to flourish once more.

It is best to plant your trees within a week or two weeks of arrival.
Remember, when your trees arrive we advise to keep them upright, well-watered and away from strong sunlight and high winds.
