Notes
Chaenomeles speciosa 'Mango Storm' is a compact, deciduous shrub celebrated for its profusion of double, salmon-orange flowers that appear on bare stems in early spring and again in early summer. Its glossy dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop, and the plant's thornless branches make it an excellent choice for borders or training against walls.
