Nice fall color, red or black fruits, pollinator friendly, and native insects eat the leaves
where by they are harvesting solar energy and powering the food web and biodiversity.

Feed very little 1 lb of espoma plant tone in late winter is all that is needed …do not
feed now.

Prune now …. Thin out some 2 or so branches down inside the plant on the outside of the
Leaf. More blooms next year and more new growth this year.

Neighbor/kid works on gardening, so spreading 'natives' around. Little white flowers a few weeks ago.
