Offering a long season of interest, the spiny stems of this small deciduous tree carry clusters of white flowers in late spring and early summer, and relatively large, bright red fruit in late summer. Then, in the autumn, the dark green leaves take on rich shades of red, yellow and orange before they are shed for winter.
When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the collar of the tree is above ground level.
Support taller specimens either with a bamboo cane and or stake during establishment. Water generously around the base of the plant.
