Curtains of sunny, yellow flowers in spring create phenomenal drapes of salmon-colored berries in late summer turning deep red in late fall. It takes your breath away when in its f ull glory and any thought of spines simply evaporates. This large deciduous shrub becomes fountain-shaped; don your leather and prune out some of the lower branches to create more definition and make it more hospitable. The tart-sweet berry is edible and used as an ingredient in Middle Eastern cookery. Mature size: 12 ft T x 8 ft W Minimum temperature: -10º F Show more
