This plant may develop as a shrub or small tree. Pruning will help determine its mature shape. White flowers are borne in large clusters and are followed by purple-black fruits. Fall leaf color is shades of red and purple. It can make an exceptional accent in a formal garden and is perfectly suitable for a naturalistic landscape. It can be planted under black walnut. The mature fruits are eaten by birds and other small animals (and people). Having two or more plants improves fruit production. It is regarded as somewhat deer resistant but consider protecting young plants.
