About
Elegant small landscape tree becomes blanketed in creamy spring flowers that precede vibrant red fall fruit. Handsome foliage turns red-purple in autumn. In winter, the unique, multicolored bark becomes evident. Nice underplanted with pachysandra, bleeding heart, spring bulbs, and cotoneaster.
