- Planting & Care
- An ideal small tree for compact gardens, 'Milky Way' features large, creamy-white bracts surrounding tiny flower clusters in summer.
- Its pointed, ovate leaves are a lush green in summer before turning to vibrant shades of amber and crimson in autumn.
- Starting with a vase shape, the tree matures into a more rounded form, providing year-round structure.
- In autumn, it's adorned with unique, globular red berries that are edible but most often enjoyed for their decorative look.
- Extremely robust and fully hardy, it can tolerate temperatures as low as -20°C and thrives even in exposed locations.
- Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a strong shape and bushy growth.
- Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic, is fully recyclable, and reduces root spiraling.
