I saw this an Edinburgh's garden's open day on Sunday - with Jeanied's identification here (again thanks), and SWMBO's blessing I'm looking to get one.
I need some guidance though - I'm using the D&K "A-Z Encyclopedia" and it indicates that the Tomentosum form sets red berries turning black, whereas V Plicatum is quite sterile. Obviously the autumn colour of the berries is attractive, but when I read the commercial descriptions there is no mention of the berries, with one grower only saying that berries are set rarely. So is there any point in going for the Tomentosum form ?
Thanks for any assistance
