A native deciduous small tree or large shrub with layered, horizontal branching that creates a distinctive, pagoda-like form. Its medium green foliage emerges in spring and turns yellow in fall, providing seasonal interest. In late spring, it produces clusters of small white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by blue-black berries in summer that feed birds. Its elegant, tiered habit makes it a striking specimen in woodland gardens or naturalized landscapes.
This tree grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is hardy, low maintenance, and adaptable to garden conditions.
