Perfect for smaller gardens. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moist but well-drained neutral to acid soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: March to April Hardiness: fully hardy The stems of this shrubby tree are distinctly upright, so in time, the plant forms a tall, slender specimen that is ideal for adding height in smaller spaces. Offering star-like spring flowers, summer fruits (which can be cooked and eaten) and good autumn leaf colour, this small tree provides a long season of interest - as well as fulfilling a very valuable role! Garden care: Remove dead, damaged or crossing branches in late winter or early spring.
