jardimseco
Mediterranean buckthorn. An evergreen shrub or small tree up to 5 metres with small fragrant creamy flowers in spring and red berries in autumn. Seeds are distributed by birds. A good choice for a mixed wildlife hedge, particularly in unimproved soils. Once established, it can grow very quickly and will only require natural rainfall. It tolerates shade and full sun, so is useful in native species hedges and planting containing shading tree canopies.
More details
The dense dark green foliage is often variable in shape and colour. It is an indigenous evergreen that is often ignored. Many of the plants found locally are growing in amongst wild Olive, Myrtles and Pistacia so are often unseen, however they form an integral part of this vegetation system. When these "wild" species are cut or trimmed once or twice a year, along roadsides and in entrance ways, they form a formidable hedge evergreen hedge.
If you require large numbers of this plant, please order them in advance for the next winter's planting.
