Description

This broad tree will slowly grow to 20'-30' tall and wide. It has small, grey-green, evergreen leaves. Small white fragrant flowers bloom in spring, followed by fleshy black fruit that appears in fall. Fruit is messy and can stain sidewalks. Do not plant near open spaces as it can spread via birds and mammals. If you live adjacent to a channel, please do not plant this tree as it could clog the channel.
