Plant Description

Rhamnus alaternus, commonly known as Italian buckthorn or Mediterranean buckthorn, is an evergreen shrub or small tree with glossy, oval, dark green leaves that often have a slight red or bronze tint when young. This hardy plant produces small, fragrant greenish-yellow flowers in spring, which are followed by red berries that mature to black, adding seasonal interest. The Mediterranean buckthorn is native to southern Europe and North Africa and is known for its resilience, adaptability to coastal areas, and its ability to provide dense greenery for hedges and wildlife gardens.
