Full Description

Bare root stock available Oct-April or PRE ORDER NOW and reserve.
It is a fairly compact bushy European tree which is also native to south-east England. It can usually be found growing naturally on lime rich soils especially chalk. The broad oval white backed leaves are very decorative in summer. They tend to outshine the flat clusters of creamy-white flowers. In autumn orange-red berries are produced but they are not spectacular. This is a good wind firm tree for ornamental use or woodland edges on alkaline soils. It thrives best in full light. The optimum size reached depends entirely upon the prevailing conditions.
