Kew Green
Kew Green is a dome-shaped evergreen with delicate winter-white buds and aromatic leaves. In the spring, the buds open into creamy-white flowers which are followed in the winter by shiny red berries. Kew Green is very low maintenance and is tolerant to pollution so would be a brilliant in an urban front garden, especially as part of a Christmas display.
