Read detailed description :

Excellent and robust plant for rustic hedges. Conical and compact form, erect branches along the trunk. Fast growing. Reddish grey bark. Shiny dark green foliage, even in winter. Green berries of 1.2cm, turning brown in autumn. Adapts to any soil, indifferent to pH. If not pruned, it may become a lovely screening tree.
