Extremely hardy shrub with attractive glossy green foliage. Masses of white flowers in spring, loved by bees. Yellow berries in autumn and winter. Wonderful to espalier against a wall or fence, so beautiful when in berry. Trim extra vegetative growth off after flowering leaving berries to show. Avoid planting in very hot dry sites. Very hardy to cold.
