Attractive, new, columnar shrub with fine, dark green leaves, which turn buttery-yellow in autumn before falling. Multi-stems with a narrowly upright and columnar growth habit make this hardy plant almost bamboo-like. Once established, Frangula alnus 'Fine Line' has an interesting, mottled bark. The flowers are insignificant but are white in colour and appear from May to August. Height 250cm (98"). Spread 60cm (24").
