Features

White, pink or red "flowers" (actually bracts) in spring; clusters of small red fruit in autumn; fall color is reddish purple.

Culture

Partial shade to full sun. Prefers a moist, well drained, slightly acid soil. Although listed as hardy in zone 5, this tree may not perform well in the northern half of that zone, unless plants are selected from a northern seed source.
