Eriobotrya japonica ‘Rose-Anne’

A new form, selected for hardiness on the continent. A small tree and one of great presence and exotic appearance. The evergreen leaves are corrugated, thick textured and with pale brown tomentum beneath, rich glossy green above and reach up to 30cm long. Heavily scented white flowers in terminal clusters produced in autumn after hot summers, followed by the most delicious soft-orange fruit the following summer, with a flavour like nothing else.
