Alder Buckthorn 'Asplenifolia'
Rhamnus frangula 'Asplenifolia', also known as fern-leaved buckthorn, captivates with its very fine, deeply cut foliage, reminiscent of ferns. This light, textured foliage turns golden yellow in autumn, prolonging its visual appeal. In summer, it produces small, inconspicuous flowers followed by decorative black berries that are popular with birds. Ideal for hedgerows, naturalistic gardens, or woodland borders, it is hardy, tolerant of wet soils, and adds unique structure and texture to the landscape.
