Height: 20-25'  Spread: 20-25'  Habit/Form: Broad oval, multi-stem  Growth Rate: Fast  Zone: 4 to 9

Cultural Requirements: Full sun to part shade in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils.

Ornamental Characteristics: Numerous pink-tinged buds open to white flowers in spring. Edible fruits ripen to a blue-black and are quickly devoured by birds. Bluish-green leaves turn a brilliant red orange in fall.

Uses in the Landscape: A great addition to any garden, wonderfully sized to visually anchor a corner of a one or two-story home, as a specimen plant, in a shrub border, or woodland garden.
