About this plant
This upright, deciduous shrub or small tree boasts a rounded habit and is known for its stunning early spring display of small, bright yellow flowers before the foliage emerges. Recommended for USDA Zones 4 to 8, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soils, including well-drained loam. Its glossy green summer foliage transitions to a subtle reddish-purple in fall. Producing small, edible cherry-like red fruits in late summer, it adds a pop of color to the landscape and attracts birds. Mature specimens reach up to 20 feet in height with a width of 15 feet, displaying a naturally compact and upright shape. Renowned for its deer resistance, this plant is ideal for borders, hedges, or as a specimen tree.
