Description
A large bushy shrub or small tree, that bears green leaves which turn pale yellow in autumn.
Produces flat sprays of fragrant cream flowers in early summer followed by small black berries in the autumn.
Growing Conditions:
Prefers nutrient rich soils. Useful for extremely chalky sites.
Value To Wildlife:
Good for insects and birds. An important berry crop.
Important Note:
You’ll receive a 2 year old well established whip that’s between 20 to 60cm in height.
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.
Care + Advice
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.
