Also known as a Tallhedge Buckthorn, Rhamnus frangula ‘Columnaris’ provides vertical relief in the landscape. This selection grows 12-15’ tall and 3-4’ wide and has an upright, columnar habit. Spaced apart, the Alder Buckthorn stands like a row of soldiers at attention; closer together, the plants weave together to create an impressive screen of bright green, ovate leaves. After an inconspicuous spring bloom, small, red to purple fruit form. These berries bloom through Fall and are favored by birds. Fruit not eaten by wildlife can drop and stain paths, so site plants accordingly. Caution should be exercised, as the fruit is poisonous to humans. Rhamnus frangula ‘Columnaris’ is a fast-growing Shrub/Tree, and is suitable under utility lines, as hedges or screens, lining driveways, or as accents in the landscape.
