A relatively fast-growing evergreen shrub or small tree with striking, bright red new shoots that mature to an attractive marbled variegation containing green, pink, creamy-white colourings. ‘Louise’ has a compact, dense form making it a perfectly proportioned little tree for sheltered small gardens and patio pots requiring year-round interest. In late spring, white flowers appear in clusters and provide an additional burst of beauty.

Garden care:

To encourage a profusion of bright young leaves in late spring or summer shorten the stems of established specimens by up to 15cm (6in), to just above an outward-facing bud. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.
