Foliage: Deciduous, finely-toothed, oval leaves, 3-4" long, emerge with bronze-copper highlights in early spring, mature to dark green, then turn to brilliant orange-red in autumn.
Blooms: Spring
Fruit: Red-purple, round, 3/8" berries appear in late spring to early summer, and mature to a dark purple. Their flavor is reminiscent of blueberries.

Form: Round shrub or tree (often with multiple trunks)
Flower Form: Frangrant white flowers
Soil Requirements: Rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.
Pruning: Prune late winter or early spring to promote vigorous, healthy new growth. Remove root suckers to maintain a tree form. If root suckers are left to grow, it will develop a shrub form.
Comments: As its name suggests, this variety is know for its outstanding orange-red fall foliage. Fragrant, white flowers appear in spring, followed by red-purple, round berries. Birds are also quite fond of the sweet berries, with flavor reminiscent of blueberries. Excellent as a focal point in the landscape, as it adds beauty in every season-elegant, white flowers and bronze-tinted young foliage in spring, dark green foliage in summer, amazing fall foliage, and an attractive branching structure in winter. Use in a woodland garden, at the back of a border as a background for smaller shrubs and perennials, or along the edge of a wooded area.
