Rate of growth: average. Flowering period: March to April. Hardiness: fully hardy. This suckering shrub is primarily grown for its generous crop of sweet fruit.
A medium to large bushy, suckering, deciduous upright shrub or small branching multi-stemmed tree, this cultivar is grown primarily for its impressive display of large, edible and sweet, smokey blue-black fruit. Bronze-tinged young leaves that are oval or circular in shape turn mid-to dark-green in summer, and then orange, red and pink-purple in autumn. Clusters of self-fertile five-petalled white flowers emerge in spring about 2-3cm across as the young leaves unfurl and expand. The fruits are enjoyed by wildlife and can be made into jams and pies.
An excellent small tree which is perfect for smaller gardens and places with restricted space. This is one of the only small trees with both spring flowers and autumn colour. Buds and new flowers appear as pink before turning white. By August, the flowers ripen into edible small red berries which are popular. The new leaves in spring are a coppery red, turning to green in summer and a vivid red in the autumn.
Slender, small tree carrying interest from spring through to autumn. In early spring, white star-shaped flowers decorate the branches as leaves begin to unfurl. They are followed by small, dark purple berries that are enjoyed by birds. In autumn, the foliage turns dramatic shades of orange and red. Grows to 4 x 3 metres in 20 years.
