A dense, upright, spiny evergreen shrub displaying dark green holly-like leaves and vibrant orange flowers that are followed by small blue-black berries. Growing Conditions: Grows well in any soil except waterlogged. A sunnier position is ideal to promote fruiting. Value To Wildlife: Birds are attracted to the berries, whilst the thorns provide a barrier for safe nesting sites. 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.
