Its relatively narrow, upright shape is useful where a broad shrub would occupy too much space. Small yellow flowers appear in late spring, but the leaf colour and compact outline are the main reasons to choose this cultivar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrange foliage tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact upright shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall yellow flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-family: inherit; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWhat to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun for the strongest foliage colour, in soil that retains some moisture while draining freely. Water well through establishment and during prolonged dry spells in a container. The stems are thorny, so wear gloves when handling or trimming and consider its position beside narrow paths. Only light pruning should be needed to maintain the shape. This is deciduous: the leaves fall in winter, leaving a different, more open outline rather than permanent evergreen cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrow in full sun for good leaf colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse moist but well-drained soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater while establishing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim lightly if needed; watch for the thorny stems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves fall in winter; berries are ornamental and not for eating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering months:\u003c\/strong\u003e May, June.
