Maintenance Notes |
Very adaptable, prefers well-drained soil. No pruning is usually required, but may be pruned in late fall to remove dead or broken branches. Though it tolerates dry conditions once established, it looks and performs best with average moisture. If desired, fertilize in early spring with a granular rose or garden fertilizer. Fine stems with textured foliage make a nice filler for bouquets and arrangements. PLEASE NOTE: Fine Line® - Buckthorn - Rhamnus frangula is restricted and cannot be shipped to the state(s) of CT, IL, MA, ME, MN, MT, NH, NY, VT. |
