An exotic very nice "willowly" tree highlighted by its silvery bark and elegant weeping stems. Produces clusters of cream to greenish white flowers in the Spring with pear shaped brownish fruit in the Autumn.
Hardy and will grow to 3m tall and 2 metres wide so not a great space taker. Likes full sun and well worked free draining soils.
