Compact (to only 6' x 6'), this dense rounded, very hardy shrub offers masses of white flowers in spring and showy! orange berries in fall. S/M

Never having been a fan of Firethorn, it is hard to admit that I really like this one! Cute and compact tight growth 6'H x 3'W white flowers cover this evergreen shrub in early summer and small orange-red berries smother it in fall. Another Heronswood refugee truly awesome!

As the name gives suggestion, this is a more compact variety getting as tall as you are but wider and perhaps a bit more unruly! This is a very tough evergreen shrub suitable for informal hedging with showy orange berries. Any wild branch exceeding its area is easily corrected by a simple nip.
