This is such a lovely little tree! This year, after being in the ground for 2 years, it bloomed with the most delicate white flowers, and I had 2 hands full of berries. They are very sweet, not too juicy, a little bit like a blueberry, but not as strong tasting.

Edited to say that the fall colour just blew me away; deep red and burgundy with purplish.
