Description

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

Features:
✓ Attractive, small, bushy tree or large shrub
✓ Branches grow out in a tiered habit
✓ New stems are red, contrasting with the leaves
✓ Black fruits in autumn and purple-red leaves before falling

A beautiful feature tree to stand alone, or plant in a mixed border amongst contrasting foliage colours. Leaves are green with cream margins, providing an attractive, light appearance. New stems are red which contrasts well with the leaves. Usually has a central stem but then lateral branches form tiers or layers which provides interesting structure in the winter. Will tolerate a shadey spot but leaves often revert to just green.

Don't forget to consider:
Tree and Shrub Compost to add a layer of good soil in the planting hole - buy here.
Mycorrhizal fungi to encourage strong, new roots - buy here.
