A large interesting shrub with narrow, willow-like leaves produced on thorny shoots. Produces tiny yellow flowers in the spring, followed by bright orange berries, on female plants , in the summer. Both male and female plants must be grown together to produce a good berry crop. Growing Conditions: Grow in an exposed or sheltered position in full sun. Value To Wildlife: The berries provide food for a variety of wildlife, including wintering thrushes as they arrive from the continent in Autumn. 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.
