(Fine-leaved Alder Buckthorn) A fantastic foliage plant, this unusual, medium sized or eventually large shrub has very fine, deeply cut leaves, similar in appearance to some of the more dainty Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple) cultivars from a distance.

The leaves are bright green in spring and summer before turning a lovely shades of bronze and yellow in autumn before falling.

In winter once the leaves have fallen the attractive, pale-grey bark with its very conspicuous lenticels can be easily seen.

An unusual and highly ornamental selection of our native alder buckthorn which also acts as a host plant for brimstone butterflies. Can be grown well in a large container.
