Flowering Period

Frangula alnus 'Asplenifolia' is a striking deciduous shrub that stands out for its elegant, finely divided, fern-like foliage. This cultivar is prized for its unique, feathery leaves, which give it a distinctive appearance compared to other buckthorns. The leaves are a deep green throughout the growing season, and in autumn, they transition to a warm yellow, providing seasonal interest.

This variety is particularly well-suited for hedging, woodland gardens, or naturalistic planting schemes, as it thrives in moist, well-drained soils and can tolerate a range of soil conditions, including slightly acidic or alkaline. It's also tolerant of both full sun and partial shade, making it a versatile choice for various garden settings.

With its distinctive fern-like foliage, seasonal colour changes, and ability to support local wildlife, Frangula alnus 'Asplenifolia' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add texture, interest, and ecological value to their landscape. It provides a unique and low-maintenance addition to any garden or hedge. Height Up to 400cm (157.5in). Spread Up to 300cm (118.1in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow Alder Buckthorn in moist but well drained soil, Rhamnus prefer full sun or partial shade.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
