Fruit

This deciduous, spreading shrub typically grows 3 to 6 feet in height and width. It grows clusters of showy white flowers that give way to black, bitter berries often used to make jams and jellies. This plant can grow in full sun to partial shade, and in moist, well-drained soils, though it grows fruits best in full sun.
