Espalier against a shady north wall to showcase its attractive structure during winter. |

| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Likes to associate with evergreens and conifers in the bright shade under their canopy. Plant with Camellia (Camellia japonica), Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo), Blueberry and Kousa Dogwood (Cornus kousa). Ideal with showy perennials 'Rheinland', 'Deutschland', and 'Fanal' Astilbe (Astilbe x arendsii). Underplant with Hosta and Fern. |
| Care Instructions | Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. |
