Pot Size: 5 litre Price: £40.00 Description: A flamboyant evergreen tree with a fairly upright habit, which we have grown in our walled garden for 40 years or so. Bearing dark green leathery broadly oblong leaves glaucous beneath, held on strong stems. Producing an abundance of fragrant umbels of star shaped, white flowers in May-June which are followed by small black fruit. Best grown in full sun in a moist well drained preferably acidic soil, sheltered from the coldest winds. Grown from seed of the tree in our walled garden. May be best staked in windy sites, as ours was blown out of the ground at around 10 years old, with very little effect as we replanted it immediately. It is now the tallest tree in the garden.
