A very undemanding bush, with a wonderful leaf shape and delicious fall color. Spring flowers are very unusual, a cream-colored flat umbel surrounded by a ring of showy simple petals. The berries are persistent, and will sweeten after a hard frost (if the birds leave you any.) The fruit may be prepared any way you would the standard supermarket cranberry – jam, sauce, etc – my variety does have a lot of the bitterness associated with raw cranberries.
