These will stand in sharp contrast to the browns and greys of your transitioning landscape in early March. It has an interesting silver-striped bark that is displayed when the plant is pruned into a small tree.

You'll enjoy watching the flowers give way to the small green berries as they progress from green to red, and eventually transform into a deep purple-black.

The dark gems are ready to enjoy straight from the bush or used in various jams and pies.
