The tree is known for its striking blue, berry-like fruit that appears in late summer. Typically growing to 20-30 feet in height with a spread of 15-20 feet, it has a moderate to fast growth rate and prefers well-drained soil. This tree thrives in full sun to partial shade.

Non-toxic to humans and pets, but can cause stomach upset.
Growth Rate: Fast
Maintenance: Low Maintenance, fertilize once a year. Pruning isn’t necessary, but if needed is best done after blooming in late winter.
