Multiple upright stems branch out to form a rounded shrub about 8′ tall at maturity. Dark green opposite leaves and small white bell-shaped flowers in the spring are followed by sweet edible berries, enjoyed by humans and birds, in summer and deep red foliage in fall. Requires highly acidic soil containing lots of organic matter to thrive, so most planting sites will have to be amended with a soil acidifier.
