Rhamnus frangula 'Fine Line' - Shrub - Height 90cm - 10lt

Rhamnus frangula ‘Fine Line’ is a distinctive, narrow-columnar shrub that brings strong vertical emphasis to the garden while remaining compact and easy to manage. Its fine, willow-like green leaves are densely packed along upright stems, creating a soft yet architectural outline that is ideal for small gardens, modern landscapes, or where space is limited. Reaching around 2–3 metres tall but only about 50–60 cm wide, it works well as a living accent, a slim screen, or a pair of sentinels flanking paths and entrances.

This hardy shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to most well-drained soils, including clay and loam. Once established, it is tolerant of short dry spells and requires little maintenance, making it suitable for low-input gardens. In late spring, small, nectar-rich flowers appear, followed by dark berries that are valuable to birds and other wildlife. Autumn brings soft yellow foliage colour before leaf fall. Rhamnus frangula ‘Fine Line’ is therefore an excellent choice for adding height, structure, and ecological value without overwhelming the planting scheme.
