Small to medium, picturesque, evergreen tree to 12-15 ft with 2" bright green, silver dusted leaves & small to medium, purple-brown, late season fruit. Best in sun in lean, well-drained soil with little summer water once established. All water should be withheld in late summer to allow plants to harden off, increasing hardiness. Good in container or in the garden. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8; zone 7 if well hardened.
