An eye-catching native pollinator plant that flowers early when not a lot else is blooming. Buds form in early May and open up to 2–3" creamy white inflorescences (called corymbs) consisting of 30–60 tiny flowers that will be buzzing with every bee and butterfly around. Short-lived flowers fade to pointy orange follicles (the seedheads) that contrast beautifully against the foliage. Clean foliage emerges light green and turns deep green as the leaves mature giving the shrub a diaphanous illuminated quality in the sun. Unusual shredding bark becomes visible in winter.
Upright arching habit. Plants can be pruned nearly to the ground to restore shape and size. Full sun to part shade. Easy to grow: hardy, no maintenance, disease- and pest-free. Native to eastern U.S. Z3. (1-3') BACK!

Small Trees and Shrubs
As Green’s Nursery catalog from 1904 explains, “There are many trees that by pruning can be made to resemble shrubs, and many shrubs that by different pruning may be made to produce medium-sized trees.”
