These stiff, upright 4-5' tall plants (perfect for hedges) are covered with an abundance of white fruit held above the foliage in fall. S-PSh/M
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.
