Description

A breathtaking feature tree with a large, spreading, canopy that’s suited for a large garden with an adequate amount of space. Its large, black, hooked thorns make it an excellent security hedge. Its flowers attract birds, bees, wasps and butterflies. Non-edible fruit produces in Summer and cream-coloured flowers blossom in Spring.
