Rhamnus frangula 'Ron Williams' FINE LINE

Fine Line Alder Buckthorn

Deciduous Shrub

Narrow upright column of fern-like foliage provides unique texture and structure to the garden. Use as a narrow hedge, screen or vertical accent. It is a deciduous shrub that puts on a nice display of yellow fall color before shedding its foliage. Some sources indicate a max USDA Zone of 7b. I've been growing it just fine in Zone 8b and have seen it in other Zone 8 gardens doing well.
