Its defining feature is its remarkably airy, feathery foliage, consisting of long, slender, ribbon-like leaves. This fern-like curtain of deep green is closely packed along tightly upright, vertical branches, delivering a wonderfully structural silhouette. As Spring yields to Summer, discreet clusters of tiny, greenish-yellow blossoms appear, later developing into small berries that transition from red to black by Autumn. Though the blooms are modest, they are a magnet for local pollinators, while the foliage later transforms into a brilliant pillar of clear gold before dropping. Given its naturally slender, space-saving habit, Frangula alnus Fine Line acts as an excellent vertical accent for tight urban courtyards, an elegant focal point in a mixed bed, or a slim, low-maintenance privacy screen. This cultivar is superbly adapted to Irish growing conditions; resilient in both exposed inland positions and damp maritime air. Because it maintains its neat, pencil-thin shape completely on its own, it requires virtually no pruning or shearing to keep its crisp, tidy appearance year after year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eTolerates coastal and inland exposure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Highly adaptable; prefers moist, well-drained, fertile ground but handles damp clay much better than most shrubs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003eFull sun, tolerates partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/b\u003e Delicate, tactile green foliage throughout Summer; spectacular buttery-gold leaf display in Autumn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness: \u003c\/b\u003eFully hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6-8ft (2m - 2.5m) \u003cb\u003eSpread:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"truncate\" id=\"yui_3_18_1_1_1781775357176_28981\"\u003eImage 1 by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/33037982@N04\/\"\u003eLeonora (Ellie) Enking\u003c\/a\u003e cropped, and licensed under \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImage 2 by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/User:Sten\" title=\"User:Sten\"\u003eSten Porse\u003c\/a\u003e cropped, and licensed under \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY-SA 3.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Future Forests","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 4L","offer_id":54184869036359,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2750\/6590\/files\/FrangulaalnusFineLine.jpg?v=1781778971","url":"https:\/\/futureforests.ie\/products\/frangula-alnus-fine-line","provider":"Future Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
