Description

This evergreen tree was chosen to be one of the Trees of the Year for 2002. It is a gorgeous bird-attracting tree that blossoms in Summer and reacts well to pruning when looking to use it as a hedge alongside driveways or fence lines.

Suitable for any garden size and works well as an indoor on container plant on patios.
