A small, rounded deciduous tree with glossy, deeply lobed leaves and flat sprays of cream flowers, followed by dark red berries in autumn. Excellent for wildlife. Early flowers for insects, fruits good for birds. Thorny cover for nesting and roosting birds. Growing Conditions: Grows well in most soil conditions, positioned in full sun or partial shade. Value To Wildlife: The leaves provide a food source to moth caterpillars including the case-bearer moth, while the flowers attract bee and the berries are eaten by many birds and wildlife. 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.
