This compact, deciduous shrub features a rounded habit and reaches a mature height of 3-4 feet, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or container planting. Hardy to zones 3-7 and thriving in temperatures down to -40°F, it is well-suited for colder climates. Preferring acidic, well-drained soils, this plant is highly adaptable and benefits from full sun exposure for optimal fruit production. In spring, delicate white bell-shaped flowers appear, giving way to medium-sized, flavorful blue berries, perfect for fresh eating or baking. Its foliage provides a showy fall display, turning vibrant shades of red and orange. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it is both an attractive and practical addition to landscapes. A reliable pollinator pair enhances its yield.
