It features white, star-shaped spring blossoms, edible June berries, and striking fall foliage. Boasting adaptability, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates various soil types. This low-maintenance native adds year-round interest, making it an excellent choice for naturalized or formal landscapes. Zones: 4-8.
