Stachyurus praecox
Attractive shrub with long arching branches. Glossy mid green leaves give good autumn colour. At the end of winter before the leaves emerge long clusters of pale yellow, cup shaped flowers emerge long the branches. Hardy. Great in a sheltered site in good soil. Thin out weak and old stems in winter.
