    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Though we have not named this plant yet -- it appears that Rhamnus alaternus might be involved somehow -- we think it a worthy and useful addition to the summer dry garden where an upright shrub or, if properly pruned, small tree, to 10' tall, with glossy leaves and silver bark is always welcome. A vigorous plant for hedging for single specimen. Best in sun to dappled shade with decent drainage. Very summer drought tolerant and expected frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
