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.
