This graceful and elegant small tree is adorned with masses of large creamy-white flowers in late-spring. Slow-growing to 15-20', the dark-green glossy foliage looks incredible with the bright-red strawberry like summer fruits. Fiery red-orange color in fall completes the picture on this lovely specimen; introduced in 1910 from the Hupeh Province of China. S-PSh/M
