Frangula encompasses both deciduous and evergreen shrubs or trees. The foliage consists of simple leaves that frequently display vibrant hues in the autumn. This genus produces small yellowish flowers, which are succeeded by red or black berries.

Frangula

Frangula alnus is a robust deciduous shrub that can grow up to 5 meters in height. It features shiny, rounded to ovate dark green leaves that transition to yellow or red shades in the fall. In late spring and early summer, the plant produces small greenish flowers in clusters, which are succeeded by vibrant red berries that eventually mature to a black hue.

Frangula alnus

Frangula alnus 'Aspleniifolia' is a bushy, spreading deciduous shrub that reaches heights of approximately 3-4 meters. Its elongated dark green leaves, which exhibit irregularly scalloped margins, create a texture reminiscent of ferns and turn a reddish hue in the fall. In late spring to early summer, this plant produces clusters of greenish flowers that emerge in the leaf axils, eventually giving way to fleshy red fruits that mature to black.

Frangula alnus 'Columnaris'

Frangula alnus 'Minaret'

Frangula alnus 'Ron Williams' is a robust, upright deciduous shrub characterized by its slender, fern-like leaves that can reach lengths of up to 10 cm. These glossy dark green leaves transform to a vibrant yellow in the fall. In late spring and early summer, the plant produces clusters of petite flowers, which are succeeded by bright red berries that eventually mature to a deep black.

Helinus scandens

Hovenia consists of deciduous trees featuring alternate leaves that are either heart-shaped or oval. The trees produce small, fragrant flowers that are greenish-yellow and grow in loose clusters at or near the tips of the branches. The resulting fruit is small and spherical.

Hovenia

Hovenia acerba

Hovenia dulcis is a tree that begins with an upright growth habit before developing a more spreading form. Its leaves are heart-shaped, measuring between 10 to 20 cm in length, with a glossy dark green surface and a soft, hairy underside. In summer, clusters of small, cream-colored flowers emerge, releasing a pleasant fragrance. As the flowers decline, the stems swell and transform into red, sweet, and edible structures. Eventually, these will give way to small black fruits.

Hovenia tomentella

Nesiota elliptica

Noltea

This genus comprises eight species of shrubs and small trees that can be either evergreen or deciduous. They thrive in warm, arid regions, including parts of Eurasia, North Africa, Eastern Spain, Japan, and Taiwan. The leaves, which may be smooth or serrated, exhibit a glossy dark green appearance. During the summer, star-shaped yellow flowers bloom along the stems, eventually giving way to round, winged fruits.

Paliurus

Paliurus hemsleyanus is a semi-hardy evergreen shrub or small tree that can grow up to 15 meters in height in its native habitat, although it typically reaches a smaller size in garden settings. The leaves are broad and oval-shaped, featuring a shiny, papery feel with serrated margins and pairs of prominent spines at their bases. Young stems are covered in fine brown hairs. From late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of tiny yellow flowers in the leaf axils, which are succeeded by disc-shaped green seed pods.

Paliurus ramosissimus

Paliurus spina-christi is a dense shrub characterized by its slender, sharply thorned branches and rounded, shiny green foliage. During the summer months, it produces clusters of small, greenish-yellow, star-shaped flowers, which are succeeded by woody fruits that feature a prominent, disc-shaped wing. Initially pale green, these wings transition to a brown hue and remain on the plant throughout winter.

Paliurus spina-christi

Phylica comprises evergreen shrubs resembling heath species, characterized by their small, elongated leaves that frequently feature curled edges. The minute flowers can present either five petal-like sepals or petals that have transformed into bristles or filamentous structures.

Phylica

Phylica arborea is an evergreen shrub or small tree that can reach heights of over 5 meters in a protected environment, although it typically grows shorter in garden settings. Its foliage consists of small, narrow leaves that are dark green and adorned with fine silvery hairs, particularly noticeable on the undersides. In spring, the plant produces clusters of small, fragrant flowers that are greenish-white in color.

Phylica arborea

Phylica ericoides

Phylica plumosa

Phylica pubescens is an evergreen shrub that typically ranges from small to medium in size. Its leaves are narrow, measuring between 1 to 3 cm in length, and are covered with fine hairs on the underside, contributing to a silvery appearance. During the spring season, it produces small, dark brown flowers that cluster at the tips of the branches, each encased in narrow bracts densely covered with long, cream-colored hairs.
