Description and Growing Information
Flowering Period
| Cultivation |
| Grow in full sun or partial shade (although autumn colour is better if grown in full sun), in a well-drained but moisture-retentive soil. |
| Shape |
| A shrub with a broad and open-growing habit. |
| Pests |
| Susceptible to fireblight. |
| Habitat |
| Generally found in wet woodlands and riverbanks. |
| Leaf Description |
| Leaves to 6 cm, later dark green, paler beneath. |
| Flower Description |
| Flower to 2.5 cm in diameter, pure white, solitary or in bundles of 3. |
| Fruit Description |
| Fruit to 1.5 cm in diameter, almost black in colour. |
| Notable Specimens |
| The Gardens of Fanshawe College, London, Ontario, Canada. |
| Propagation |
| Propagate through layering. May also use seeds, but unless the plant is isolated the result is unlikely to come true. It is also important to note that spring-sown seeds may take up to two years to germinate. |
| Ethnobotanical Uses (Disclaimer) |
