$30.00

Four-Season Aesthetics

  • Spring: Clouds of delicate, star-shaped white blossoms emerge early before the foliage fully unfolds.

  • Summer: Soft, finely velvety leaves mature into a vibrant green canopy, accompanied by edible, blueberry-like dark purple berries.

  • Autumn: Foliage transforms into brilliant shades of orange, yellow, and deep red.

  • Winter: Smooth, silver-gray bark with subtle dark striping adds elegant structure to winter landscapes.

Wildlife & Ecological Value

  • Pollinators: Early spring blooms provide essential nectar for native bees and emerging butterflies when few other sources are open.

  • Birds: Highly prized, nutrient-rich summer berries feed songbirds like bluebirds, cedar waxwings, and robins.

  • Lepidoptera Host: Serves as a vital larval host plant for dozens of native butterfly and moth species, including the Red-spotted Purple and Tiger Swallowtail.

Quick Planting Guide

  • Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade (best autumn color and fruit production occur in full sun).

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, moist, slightly acidic soil; tolerant of loam, clay, or sandy loam.

  • Spacing: Space 10–15 ft apart for single specimens or multi-stem small trees; plant 6–8 ft apart for a naturalized woodland hedge.

  • Establishment: Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and same depth. Saturate deeply at planting and maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season.
