    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This vigorous survivor of the last ice age is a low-growing, self-fertile, evergreen shrub producing delicious 3/4inch blue fruits through July and August, similar to blueberries. Outstanding red-burgundy fall color, and once established, drought and wildlife tolerant. A delightful little shrub!
