Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This fabulous eastern native is a deciduous, early-flowering, large shrub/small tree to 20-30'. Very showy, white, 5-petaled, lightly fragrant flowers hang in drooping clusters on bare stems in early spring before the leaves emerge. In summer delicious dark purplish-black berries which somewhat resemble blueberries appear abundantly, these fruits are much loved eaten out of hand or in pies, jams and jellies. The finely toothed, medium to dark green leaves change to brilliant orange-red in autumn; a wonderful edible addition to the woodland garden. PSh/M
