With a rigidly upright and slender habit, this shrub also qualifies as a small tree, possibly reaching 15 feet; branches are smothered with pretty white flowers in early spring; makes a great accent in the garden

This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. This is a selection of a native North American species.
