Carolina Buckthorn Part Shade It has a charmingFrangula caroliniana The Carolina Buckthorn is a deciduous tree or shrub that can reach heights of 12 to 15 feet. Its lovely green leaves continue to thrive until late fall, and in May and June, it blooms clusters of small yellow flowers at the bases of the leaves. While these flowers aren't the flashiest, they certainly add charm to the plant. This wonderful plant also bears fleshy berries that start off red when ripe and turn black upon maturity,
