Description:
These are an absolute beauty grown as a shrub, hedging plant or small tree. They have star shaped white flowers in spring, edible red fruits in summer and the leaves are a rich golden colour in the autumn. Lots of wildlife will be attracted to both their flowers (pollinators) and their fruit (birds!)
Care:
These are small at present so will need some nurture and protection to enable them to develop. Once established, they are very low maintenance plants that will look after themselves!
