Comments:
Cannot tolerate wet, heavy soils nor bright sunlight or sub-freezing temperatures. It makes an excellent container plant for colder areas when it is give protection during hard freezes. Birds consume the black fruit as it ripens in late winter and early spring. One of the best broadleaf plants for shady areas.
