Rhamnus alaternus already has all the characteristics of a great hedge or screen: dense foliage, fast growth, low water requirements, and adaptability. And with glossy leaves that are greener, larger and more uniform, ‘John Edwards’ is a selection that improves on the species. A drought tolerant shrub/tree for Mediterranean climates, this selection grows 15-20’ tall and 6-10’ wide and is more resistant to crown rot. Cold hardy to 5° F, plant ‘John Edwards’ in full sun or part shade, and give low to moderate water. Inconspicuous flowers attract pollinators and other beneficial insects. Small red to purple berries develop over the summer and attract birds.
