Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Perfect for hedges or foundation plantings, this compact (to 5-6' x 4-5') fruitless male selection offers attractive silvery-green foliage and an easy-going disposition: tolerant of poor soils and conditions. S/M-D
By: Forestfarm
This is a male selection thus produces no fruit. Silvery lavender-like foliage stands out in the garden. Very tolerant of poor soils. Yellow blooms in late spring, early summer but they are insignificant. Prune as needed after flowering This is a foliage plant.
