Last Review
Features
Small, fragrant, yellow flowers in early spring before the leaves emerge (male and female flowers on separate plants); bright red berries on female plants in late summer and autumn (most showy after leaves fall); autumn color is yellow.
Culture
Partial to full shade; moist, well-drained soils are best, but tolerates wet sites; prefers slightly acid soil.
Notes
Since male and female flowers are on separate plants, both are needed to produce the bright red berries (berries will be produced on female plants only).
