A very bushy shrub with dark green leaves.
White scented flowers are produced in summer, that are then followed by small black berries in the autumn.
Great for use as hedging or as a natural privacy screen.

Growing Conditions:
Grows well in most well-drained or moist but well-drained soil. Likes either a sunny or partial shade position.

Value To Wildlife:
Attracts bees, beneficial insects, butterflies​, ​moths and other pollinators. Provides coverage for sheltering and nesting birds.

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.
