Fine Line® buckthorn is primarily used as a hedge or natural screen and is admired for its airiness in the landscape. Plants do best in moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade, however they can tolerate poor soils and full sun. Dark green leaves are narrow and linear making them seem fern-like from a distance. Ruby red fruit is produced by midsummer changing to black by autumn. Leaves will change to a crisp yellow in fall. The thin narrow twigs combine to form a columnar architecture which adds interest to the winter landscape. Non-invasive, sterile cultivar.
