Showy clusters of creamy white non-fragrant flowers are only part of the deal; it is a heavy fruiter with large clusters of attractive blue berries. Not to be confused with blueberries, these blue berries are suitable for avian winter munchies, if you are in need of pie you'll have to fashion some arrows from the nice straight stems and shoot four and twenty of those pesky blackbirds.
