The stems of this shrubby tree are distinctly upright, so in time, the plant forms a tall, slender specimen that is ideal for adding height in smaller spaces. Offering star-like spring flowers, summer fruits and good autumn leaf colour, this small tree provides a long season of interest - as well as fulfilling a very valuable role!
