An upright vase shaped shrub growing 8-10' tall and 6-8' wide. Despite its impressive fruit display, the habit is somewhat open with minimal foliage on the bottom 1/3 of the plant. Best when planted where the lower portion of the plant can be masked by other plants. Foliage is soft blue-green to dark green, changing to muted red in the fall. White, slightly fragrant 2" flowers in May on short 2-leafed twigs. Young fruits are orange-yellow changing to red and becoming translucent after the first frosts. Zone 5
