Rhamnus saxatilis (Rock Buckthorn) is a hardy deciduous shrub known for its dense, compact growth and small green leaves that provide fine texture in the landscape. It is often used in naturalistic planting, slopes, and low hedging.
Extremely tough and adaptable, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, often poor or rocky soils. It typically reaches a mature height of around 1–2 metres, forming a neat, bushy habit with good tolerance to drought and exposed conditions.
