    Deciduous, rounded shrub with a dense, twiggy appearance. Lobed green leaves have a yellow fall color. Small greenish yellow flowers appear in mid-spring, and are followed by scarlet berries. This shrub has separate male and female plants, so berries are not seen if the plant is a male. This is a great choice for a hedge or border plant. Growth Rate fast
