Description

This evergreen shrub will grow about 8'-10' tall and wide. It has small, dark green leaves with thorns hidden. Fragrant, white flowers bloom in the spring, followed by berries that change from green to orange, red or yellow in the fall. Birds love these berries. If the shrub is in full sun, you will have more berries. Soil should be well draining

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.

If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
