Last Review
Features
Small, but interesting, dark purple flowers in spring; tropical-looking, drooping foliage; yellow fall color; tasty fruit.
Culture
This is an understory tree, so it does well in shade, but also grows in full sun; prefers a consistently moist soil; best in a slightly acid soil, but tolerant of alkaline soils.
Notes
A good choice for moist sites.
