This deciduous small tree or large shrub exhibits a graceful, low-branching habit, making it an elegant addition to landscapes. Suitable for USDA zones 5-8, it thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with consistent moisture. It performs best in temperatures ranging from 60-80°F and appreciates full sun to partial shade. In spring to early summer, its striking white bracts surround small, inconspicuous green-yellow flowers, creating a showy display. The foliage transitions to vibrant shades of red and burgundy in the fall, adding seasonal interest. In late summer to early fall, it produces edible, raspberry-like red fruit that attracts birds. With a rounded to spreading form, it reaches a mature height of 15-25 feet and exhibits moderate deer resistance. This hardy, low-maintenance plant is perfect for ornamental and accent planting.
