This perennial, deciduous tree also goes by Michigan Holly, growing 6 to 10 feet tall normally, with purplish green foliage that turns black at the first frost. Small flowers bloom during the spring and early summer, followed by clusters of bright red berries that persist throughout the winter. This tree tolerates a variety of conditions, growing in full sun to shade, in dry to wet, sandy to clayey soils.
