Plant Information
Fine Line® Improved
Rhamnus
A unique update that has green, lush and full foliage from tip to toe. Dense branching provides good coverage for a space-saving hedge, and gives it even more presence as a specimen. Like the original, it sets far fewer fruits than weedy buckthorns, and among the fruits that do develop, only a very low percentage are capable of germination. It is drought tolerant once established and is deer resistant.

| 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.
