Zone 3-8

Grows to 15 feet. Very dense green foliage that turns purplish in fall. Numerous small white flower clusters, 1 to 2 inches in diameter, bloom in mid-June, giving way to small white berries in summer which attracts birds. Grows well in average soil, withstands shearing and because of its dense growth, it makes a good barrier or screen. Cut it off at the base in early spring, fertilize it well, and it will grow back more dense than ever before. Very good for soil erosion. Wet tolerant, native to eastern United States.
