Deciduous shrub. Pruned into a small, single trunk tree. Compact, slow-growing, and rounded form. Pink buds open in spring to sweetly fragrant white flowers which are arranged in snowball-like clusters. Flowers give way to non-showy, berry-like drupes which mature to blue-black in late summer. Broad ovate, serrate, dark green leaves. Foliage usually turns dull red in fall, but may sometimes display attractive shades of wine-red to burgundy. Moderate water needs once established.
