Description
This distinctive tree gets its name from its winter interest: the winter buds are dark blue-black, with a slight curve, and resemble a raven’s bill. Come spring, pinnate dark green leaves appear and these are soon accompanied by the delicate white flowers. The flowers mature to clusters of small red berries by autumn and the leaves turn to blistering shades of yellow, orange and red before falling. This is a great choice for year-round interest and it is prefect for attracting wildlife to your garden.
