It produces clusters of flat-topped, white flowers followed by berries in the fall that ripen to vivid shades of pink and blue, with both colors often found in the same cluster. Possumhaw is an adaptable plant, growing in full sun to shade and moist to wet soils, and tolerating cold, flood, and disease.
