Renowned for its unique, twisted branches, offering year-round visual appeal.
Discovered in an English hedgerow in the 1800s, it is highly sought after for its beauty.
Especially captivating in winter when its bare, spiralling form is revealed, earning it the name "Harry Lauder's Walking Stick".
Its contorted stems are prized by florists for stunning floral arrangements.
Features heart-shaped leaves that emerge buttery yellow in spring, turn green in summer, and revert to yellow in autumn.
Long, decorative yellow catkins appear from winter into early spring.
A compact choice ideal for smaller gardens, reaching a mature size of 4x4m.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.
