Its elliptical green foliage turns red and orange in fall. The loose pendulous clusters of white spring flowers give way to the signature berries. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well drained soils. While self fertile, cross pollination will produce a better crop. 150 300 chilling hours. Type: Shrub, Fruit Origins: East N.
