Large shrub or small tree native to the eastern United States. Flat-topped clusters of white flowers in late spring are followed by white berries ripening in late summer, which are attractive to birds. Not commonly used as an ornamental planting, although it may be useful in mixed borders. Ours came to us as a volunteer, arising in a mostly shady border along the north side of our home, which is not as prone to drying out in periods of heat and drought as the rest of the garden. I watched it grow for a while, but eventually decided it couldn't stay where it had decided to live.
