A interesting upright tree that displays a mass of pinnate leaves, which turn from a deep green to a yellowish colour in autumn.
Flat clusters of white flowers are produced in late spring, followed by orange-red berries in early autumn.

Growing Conditions:
Grows in poor, thin and acid soils. Very hardy and tolerant of exposed sites.

Value To Wildlife:
Supports many insects and provides an important berry crop for birds.

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.

It is best to plant your trees within a week or two weeks of arrival.
Remember, when your trees arrive we advise to keep them upright, well-watered and away from strong sunlight and high winds.

By using a tree guard it provides improved survival rates by offering first-line defence against pests such as voles, mice, rabbits, hares, deer, plus other wildlife and livestock, at a young tree's most vulnerable growing stage.

It also provides protection to your newly planted cell grown trees for from seasonal weather conditions, herbicides and other chemical sprays.

They can also guard against machinery contact and abrasion, such as strimmers.
