Developed by Dorenbos in the Hague prior to 1940, 'White Hedge' is stiffly upright with age and bears a tremendous crop of somewhat alien looking lumpy white fruits that are huge for a Symphiocarpos, actually it looks like someone superglued mini marshmallows to all the branches, ours fruited for the first time this summer and created quite a stir.
