RHAMNUS FRA COLUMNARIS
Grower Notes:

Bring on the Privacy: Tallhedge Buckthorn provides an upright screening solution! Also known as Column Glossy Buckthorn, this broadleaf deciduous shrub is a standout for its shape and seasonal transformation. Imagine a narrow, upright shrub with glossy, deep green leaves that turn a vibrant yellow come fall. To add a touch of whimsy, clusters of red berries appear in summer, maturing to a rich purple-black by autumn.

Tallhedge Buckthorn thrives in most lighting conditions, from full sun to partial shade. It's quite adaptable to soil types, as long as it's well-drained. Once established, it can be drought tolerant. Planted close together, this shrub forms a dense hedge, perfect for privacy or screening unsightly areas. It also makes a nice foundation plant.

Fernleaf Buckthorn Care

Fernleaf Buckthorn is a very adaptable deciduous shrub that is popular because of its exotic look and texture. It requires no pruning, but can be pruned in late winter if rubbing or dead branches need to be removed. It grows well in full or part sun (4-6 hrs sun), and although it performs best with average moisture, it does tolerate dry conditions once established. Buckthorn is perfect for hedging and screening purposes. To ensure the health of your Buckthorn, be sure to space them 3-5 feet from each other when creating a hedge or screen. Also note: They look terrific in containers!
