Buckthron-Rhamnus cathartica 'FineLine'
Buckthorn-Rhamnus cathartica 'FineLine', this tree shows off its lacy fern-like foliage and willowy leaves. With its beauty and narrow columnar habit, it is the perfect specimen for adding texture and shape to the garden. The Buckthorn tolerates dry conditions once established, which makes it durable and desirable. It grows 6-8 feet tall and provides privacy in any garden. Great as a narrow hedge, accent specimen, and to frame doors and pathways. This non-invasive cultivar is an excellent replacement for older weedy varieties and rarely requires pruning. Watch for a variety of problems that include cankers, caterpillars, Japanese beetles, leaf spots, rust and scale.
