Frangula alnus Fine Line 5 Ltr pot

Frangula alnus 'Fine Line' is a very slender, upright, deciduous selection with finely textured, narrow green foliage that creates a graceful, columnar outline ideal for tight spaces and vertical accents. Tiny greenish flowers appear from late spring into early summer, sometimes followed by small berries, while the plant performs best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil, ideally on the acidic to neutral side, and makes a neat architectural feature for borders, repeated planting, or narrow screening where a refined, space-saving form is needed.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
